Abstract

Wind energy is an important renewable energy the development and utilization of wind energy is of great significance for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, alleviating energy crisis and promoting sustainable development. The purpose of this paper is to study a basic wind energy resource assessment model based on the WRF model. First, the relevant theories of WRF model and wind farm micro-sitting are analyzed. With the technical support of spatial analysis, processing and modeling, combined with the above functional modules, a wind power resource assessment and wind farm micro-selection system based on the WRF model has been developed. Finally, the simulation verifies the comparison with the ground observation data of the meteorological station in City A in December 2020. The comparison meteorological field is the wind speed at a height of 15 meters above the ground. The results show that the simulated value and the observed value are basically consistent, and the extreme points of each wind speed are basically the same. It is simulated, and the simulated value is slightly higher than the observed value by 0.5-1.5m/s.
