The Impact of Wind Power Development on Haze in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region of China

Abstract

In this paper, we research on the haze development in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Considering the wind power development is synchronous with haze development in the upstream of the region, we infer that the wind power farm have a significant effect on atmosphere of the lower drift region. First, we discuss the impact of wind power farm on the wind speed of this region. Then, we analyze the impact of wind power on the atmospheric circulation of this region combined with Butterfly Effect innovatively. Finally, we put forward reasonable suggestions of slowing down the wind power development in onshore areas and strengthening the construction of offshore wind power. 1. Current wind power distribution in china According to Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, the total reserves of wind energy in the ten meters height levels is 3.226 billion kw in China onshore, which ranks first in the world. The actual onshore reserves of wind energy which can be developed is 253 million kW, and the actual offshore reserves of wind energy is three times than that it. So, the total reserves of wind energy which can be developed is about 10 billion kW. In other words, if the wind resource development reaches to 60%, only the wind power can support all the China's current annual electricity needs.
