Climatic Trend and Prediction of the Wind Energy in the Gwadar Port

Abstract

The development of wind energy resource could make a positive contribution to the construction of the Gwadar Port, thus to contribute to the construction of the Belt and Road. In the actual development of the wind energy, it is necessary to pay attention to the climatic trend and future prediction of wind energy so as to provide scientific basis for mid-long term planning. Until now, the research on the climatic trend of oceanic and meteorology parameters are abundant. However, the research on the climatic trend of the wind energy is scarce. In addition, the research on prediction of oceanic and meteorology parameters are abundant. However, the research on prediction of wind energy is scarce until now, which is not benefit for the mid-long term planning of wind energy development. In this chapter, we use the ERA-interim wind field data for the past 36 years (1979–2014), to calculate the climatic trend of wind energy parameters in the Gwadar Port, and utilize two methods to make long term prediction of wind energy parameters in the Gwadar Port, which can provide the scientific basis for the long term planning of wind energy development, and provide scientific support for the construction of the Belt and Road.
