摘要
This study aims to evaluate the solar and wind energy potential across Razavi Khorasan Province,Iran,with a specific focus on the Khaf region.A preliminary assessment of mean solar radiation,mean wind speeds,and Weibull distribution parameters was conducted for different towns and zones within the province.The findings showed that Khaf has favorable characteristics for further analysis.The solar and wind energy metrics examined include global horizontal irradiance,clearness index,wind rose patterns,and turbulence intensity.At a height of 40 m,Khaf’s wind power density reached 1650 W/m^(2),indicating exceptional wind energy generation potential.Additionally,Khaf received an average annual solar radiation of 2046 kW·h/m^(2),representing significant solar energy potential.Harnessing these substantial renewable resources in Khaf could allow Razavi Khorasan Province to reduce reliance on fossil fuels,improve energy sustainability,and mitigate climate change impacts.This research contributes an in-depth assessment of Razavi Khorasan's solar and wind energy potential,particularly for the promising Khaf region.Further work may examine optimal sites for renewable energy projects and grid integration strategies to leverage these resources.
本研究旨在评估伊朗Razavi Khorasan省的太阳能和风能潜力,并特别关注Khaf地区。初步评估了全省不同城镇的平均太阳辐射、平均风速和Weibull分布参数。研究结果表明,Khaf具有进一步分析的有利特征。研究的太阳能和风能指标包括全球水平辐照度、清晰度指数、风玫瑰模式和湍流强度。在40 m的高度,Khaf的风力密度达到1650 W/m2,显示出非凡的风能发电潜力。此外,Khaf每年平均接收到2046 kW·h/m2的太阳辐射,具备巨大的太阳能潜力。在Khaf利用这些丰富的可再生资源可以使Razavi Khorasan省减少对化石燃料的依赖,提高能源的可持续性,并减轻气候变化的影响。这项研究有助于深入评估Razavi Khorasan省的太阳能和风能潜力,特别是Khaf地区。未来工作可能会聚焦可再生能源项目的最佳地点和基于这些资源的电网整合策略。
