Summary of the impact of aeolian sand environment on key parts of wind turbine

Abstract

<p indent="0mm">With the global implementation of the double carbon plan, the wind turbine industry has developed rapidly recently. The wind and sand environments significantly impact the operation of wind turbines. Wind farms are typically located in an area with large reserves of wind resources and can coexist harmoniously with the local environment. Although the desert area has substantial wind energy reserves, it is frequently affected by windy and dusty weather. First, this paper summarizes the distribution of deserts and the corresponding usage of wind energy globally; then, it briefly describes the core factors of the dusty weather, namely, sand source, dust movement form, and dust weather characteristics; finally, the research on the influence of wind and sand on the key components of wind turbines in the wind-sand environment is reviewed, and the research prospect is discussed. The purpose is to provide a reference for the technicians engaged in relevant research, hoping to support the collaborative improvement of wind energy usage and the desertification environment.
