Moreover,the ecological effect of wind power development on the reduction of local sandstorm and sand flow was estimated. The results show that if the maximum rotor power coefficient of a wind-driven generator is 0. 5,the forward movement speed of sand body( or desert)( 8 827 km × 1 m × 1 m) will reduce by 1 m every year through the development and conversion of wind energy resources in Hexi Corridor. If the proportion of exploitable wind energy resources is 50%,the forward movement speed of sand body( or desert)( 4 414 km × 1 m × 1 m) will decrease by 1 m every year. It is clearly seen that wind power industry has obvious effects on the control of sandstorm and sand flow. Wind energy resources in Hexi Corridor have great development potential,and wind power industry can bring both ecological and economic benefit to people.展开更多

[Method] By dint of the wind speed data from 1955 to 2007 in ten meteorological observation station in central and west area of Hexi Corridor,and special wind tower fine data from January to December in 2007,the distribution and reserves of the region＇s wind energy resources were studied. [Result] The results showed that environmental wind speed was relatively stable in central and west Hexi Corridor. There were no distinct changes in climate characteristics distribution. There were regional differences in the distribution of wind energy,and there was a large numerical area of wind energy in Gazhou County and Yumen City; Wind energy in the region generally was higher. The wind energy density was above 100 w/m2 in the 10 m layer,around 140 w/m2 in most places,and was more than 200 w/m2 in the large number area. The wind grew in vertical direction along with the linear growth of height. Each 10 m high wind increased to 15 w/m2 averagely,50m layer wind energy was greater than the general 240 w/m2 and there were obvious changes on daily and annual with wind energy in central and west area of Hexi Corridor. The duration from March to May was a wind energy-intensive stage,10m height from the ground in the wind around 10：00 in low-value. After growing from 11：00,it met the day largest number at 18：00,and then reduced gradually. Effective wind speed hours in the region in general were more than 6 200 h,and the value in the large areas was close to 7 600 h. [Conclusion] The study laid basis for the development and application of wind energy in central and west area of Hexi Corridor.展开更多
