21st Century Maritime Silk Road: Wind Energy Resource Evaluation

TRAMA

This book aims to establish a wind energy evaluation system, to provide scientific reference for site selection, daily operation and long-term planning of wind power generation, thus to make contribution to breaking the shackles of power shortage. Firstly, it presents the advantages and disadvantages of offshore wind power, then further discusses about the status quo and challenges for wind power programs along the Maritime Silk Road and offer suggestions. A wind energy evaluation system was proposed with the Maritime Silk Road as a case study, including climatic features of wind power (temporal-spatial distribution), long-term climatic trend and mechanism, short-term forecast of wind energy, mid- and long-term projection of wind energy, technology of wind energy evaluation on key point or vital region and offshore wind energy dataset construction, to provide systematic and scientific reference for wind power evaluation and utilization.This book is one of the series of publications on 21st century Maritime Silk Road (shortened as “Maritime Silk Road”). It covers the characteristics of the marine environment and marine renewable energy, remote islands and reefs construction, climate change, early warning of wave disasters, legal escort, marine environment and energy big data construction, etc., contributing to the safe and efficient construction of the Maritime Silk Road. It aims to improve our knowledge of the ocean, thus, to improve the capacity for marine construction, enhance the viability of remote islands and reefs, ease the energy crisis and protect the ecological environment, improve the quality of life of residents along the Maritime Silk Road, and protect the rights, interests of the countries and regions participating in the construction of the Maritime Silk Road. It is a valuable reference for decision-makers, researchers, and marine engineers working in the related fields.

AUTORE

Dr. Chongwei Zheng from Dalian Naval Academy is the creator of Marine Resources and Environment Research Group on the Maritime Silk Road. His research fields cover physical oceanography, marine new energy evaluation, wind and wave climate, climate change, air sea interaction and so on. He has published more than 90 papers in many peer-reviewed journals as the first author or corresponding author, including 39 papers indexed by SCI (including the high-impact journals such as Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, Applied Energy, and Journal of Cleaner Production). He has published six books as first author. He is a reviewer for more than 40 high-impact journals (including Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, Applied Energy, Remote Sensing of the Environment, etc). He is also a monograph reviewer for Elsevier. In 2017, his project titled “Wave energy and offshore wind energy resources evaluation of the Maritime Silk Road” won the Marine Engineering Science and Technology awardfrom the China Association of Oceanic Engineering. The discipline system of marine renewable energy evaluation and resource big data construction (with the Maritime Silk Road as an example) has been established by him.
