What are the wind resources in Wuwei, Gansu?
Wuwei is quite rich in wind energy resources. The annual average wind speed of Songshan Beach in Tianzhu County is 4.6--5.5 meters/second, and the annual effective wind energy storage is more than 1194 kilowatt hours/square meter, which is larger than the world's largest wind bank. Known as Anxi and Yumen Town. Minqin County is located in the northeastern part of the Hexi Corridor, with prominent desert landforms. Sand dunes, Gobi deserts, and deserts account for more than 85% of the total area. There are northwest winds throughout the year, which are more frequent in winter and spring. The average wind force is ≥12 meters/second and the instantaneous wind speed Windy weather with level 8 or above ≥17 meters/second is relatively frequent. The average number of windy days in the county is 27.8 days, with a maximum of 63 days. According to the wind energy zoning standards of the "Wuwei City Land Development and Regulation Master Plan", Minqin County is a wind energy utilization area, with an effective wind energy time of 4851 hours, an annual available wind energy storage of 518.6 kWh/square meter, and an average wind speed of 2.8-3.5 meters/meter. between seconds. Especially in Hongshagang Town, the average wind speed changes slowly, the wind energy resources are abundant, the wind energy utilization rate is high, and it has the conditions for wind power development. At the same time, the transportation is convenient and suitable for the transportation of large wind turbines. There are many Gobi deserts in the territory, the terrain is flat, open and geologically stable, and the available wind farm sites are large. Overall, the wind energy resources in Minqin County have the characteristics of stable wind direction, good wind sustainability, very low destructive wind speed, abundant land for construction, and convenient power grid connection. It has resource advantages for large-scale wind power development.
