Hong Kong Wind Blade Power Generation

Does Hong Kong have a wind farm?

Overall, the offshore areas of Hong Kong are abundant in wind energy with promising potential to generate 6.46 × 10 6 kWh per year per turbine at a hypothetical wind farm in the Southeaster Water. The levelized cost of electricity is estimated to be US$0.1076/kWh.

What is the offshore wind power potential in Hong Kong?

Results show that the offshore wind power potential in Hong Kong was 14,449 GWh which occupied 32.20% of electricity consumption in 2017. In addition, the electricity market and power structure in Hong Kong are also reviewed with the existing policies related to renewable energy development.

Can the development of wind energy help Hong Kong get rid of energy importation?

The development of wind energy can help Hong Kong to halt this and prompt it to get rid of energy importation with the improvement of energy security [51,52]. In this paper, both the electricity market and the wind energy developing condition in Hong Kong will be analyzed with the renewable energy policies in Hong Kong related to wind energy.

How to develop wind power in Hong Kong?

For example, select turbines with new blade types, new control technologies, longer and lighter blades, or installed with taller wind towers, etc. In Hong Kong, it was proved that there is great wind power potential with suitable geographical conditions for wind energy development .

Does Hong Kong have a good wind power potential?

Although there is great wind power potential in Hong Kong, the wind power utilization is barely satisfactory. As it is mentioned above, the weighting of wind energy provided by Hong Kong energy end-use data in 2016 was less than 1% of the total RE, while the weight of RE in Hong Kong was 0.56% in 2013 .

How much wind energy does Hong Kong generate a year?

Overall, the offshore areas of Hong Kong are abundant in wind energy with promising potential to generate 5.5 GWh near the south and southeast coast up to nearly 7.4 GWh off the shore per year per wind turbine, while the average CF ranges from 31.3% to 42.2%. Fig. 12.
