Abstract:Wind energy as a kind of renewable clean energy is considered to be one of the new energies with a bright prospect for development. The development and utilization of the rich wind energy resource in the Liaoning province has and would continue to have bright further. We used WAsP model to calculate wind resource distribution in Liaoning province, which will provide a basis for wind farm's site selections. Meanwhile, this article also introduces current situation of wind farm-built in Liaoning province. Wind farms-built replace coal consumption which will reduce pollutants emission, greenhouse gas (GHG), SO2 and NOX and so on. These are one of the most significant factors in promoting the development of wind power in China. The calculation of environmental benefits is one of the important contents of environmental impact analysis of wind farm. In the paper, we propose a simplified calculation method only related to comprehensive coal consumption and pollutant discharge rate, so as to effectively standardize and quickly calculate the environmental benefits of wind farm.
