Baizhang Wind Farm Power Generation

Should China switch from coal-based energy to a climate-friendly energy supply system?

However, switching from a coal-based energy system, which currently dominates the power generation, to an environment-friendly energy supply system to avoid the severe impacts of fossil-based energy on the climate is a huge challenge for China (Pang et al., 2013).

Which land is suitable for onshore wind development in China?

There is no land suitable for onshore wind development that has a capacity factor greater than 0.3 in Central China or Southwest China. In terms of solar energy, there are more than 50,000 km2 where the solar resource has a capacity factor exceeding 0.15. This accounts for over 0.5% of China’s land area.

How good is China's Wind power system?

Good performance on most of impact categories except for ADP elements and ODP. Technical and policy advices were proposed to optimize China’s wind power system. The rapid recent economic growth in China was accompanied by a comparable demand for electricity, which is mainly provided by fossil-based power plants.

How much wind can China generate a year?

Under the most optimistic assumptions, which include a capacity density of 6 MW/km 2 in all areas identified as suitable, and installations of 150-meter height turbines, China could generate more than 15,000 TWh/yr from onshore wind from an installed capacity of more than 4700 GW.

Can deep neural networks improve the power generation of wind farms?

Also, the prioritized experience replay strategy is utilized to improve the training efficiency of deep neural networks. Simulation tests based on a dynamic wind farm simulator show that the proposed method can significantly increase the power generation for wind farms with different layouts.

Where is Saihan wind power plant located?

2.1. The case study The investigated wind power plant is called Saihan and is located in the southern part of Suniteyou County, Saihantala Town (112°54′E, 42°24′N) in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China. It occupies an area of 24 km 2, and it has an average altitude of about 1140 m above the sea level.
