Climatic Trend of Offshore Wind Energy in the Maritime Silk Road

Abstract

Currently, the studies on the wind power along the Road area are still scarce, let alone those on its climatic trends. However, these studies are the theoretical basis which is crucial to improving the accuracy of the mid- and long-term forecast and could further impact the mid- and long-term planning of wind power exploitation. Besides, nowadays there is abundant research on the evolution trends of the meteorology and ocean, but little on that of the wind power. In this chapter, the annual trend, and regional and seasonal difference of the trends of a series of key indicators of wind energy resource are calculated and analyzed for the first time, to provide a theoretical foundation for the improvement of medium – and long-term projection capacity for wind energy projection.
