Abstract
Wind energy is an important energy source with a strong potential for development. China’s Fujian Sea areas is a key area for the development of offshore wind power. In this study, WRF model was used to simulate the wind field in Fujian Sea areas from 2019 to 2021, and the simulation data of WRF fit well with the measured data of buoy. According to the analysis, the maximum wind energy density in Fujian Sea areas is concentrated in the Taiwan Strait, the annual average wind energy density is distributed in the range of 400–700 W/m2, the seasonal average wind energy density distribution is small in spring and summer, large in autumn and winter, the monthly average wind energy density is the largest in October, November and December, and the maximum is more than 2000 W/m2. The main wind direction are NE and NNE. The results show that Fujian Sea areas is rich in wind energy, which is conducive to the promotion of offshore wind power development process.
