Abstract
In this paper, we present the current exploitation status of the wind resources in general and of the offshore wind in particular. In addition, we introduce the initial and basic calculation of wind energy density at the height of 100 m, the method for development of wind resources, and the development of wind energy responding to climate change. The Vietnam sea region has a huge potential for wind energy resource in 0–30 m deep-water with an area of 111,000 km2 and a potential capacity of producing 64,000 GW and in 30–60 m deep-water with an area of 142,000 km2 and a potential capacity of producing 106,000 GW. The most promising region is the coastal area of Binh Thuan - Ca Mau provinces with a density of nearly 1000 W/m2, which is one of the high potential regions in the world. Wind farms have been deployed in this region with a total capacity of 1 GW and is expected to be 9 GW in 2030. We suggest that more research on and development of wind energy and zoning is needed to ensure energy security, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the impact of climate change.
