Is wind power 'garbage power'? Why is Europe and the United States demolishing frantically, but China is vigorously building?

> > Can you believe it? California in the United States announced that 460 wind turbines would be dismantled, and other European and American countries followed closely. They also called wind power generation garbage, and even asked China to dismantle it in the name of environmental protection. This is strange, obviously wind energy is rare. Clean, pollution-free and renewable energy, why do European and American countries do this? And why does China insist on vigorous construction? >

Wind power generation is the process of converting wind energy into mechanical energy, and then into electrical energy for human use. Wind power generation equipment is mainly composed of fan blades, generators, power supply systems and wind direction sensing systems. Generators are mainly divided into two categories. They are horizontal axis wind turbines and vertical axis wind turbines. As early as the 1930s, European and American countries began to adopt the rotor technology in aviation materials, and successfully made the world's first wind power generation device. By the end of the 1970s, the United States built it on the Blue Collar Mountain in North Carolina at that time. The largest windmill in the world.

Its steel sheet is about 60 meters in diameter, and even if the wind is only 38 kilometers per hour, the power generation capacity can reach 2,000 kilowatts. In the 1990s, the UK also built a land wind farm consisting of 10 generators. It is not difficult to see that European and American countries are very optimistic about wind power generation earlier, and have invested a lot of human, material and financial resources in this field. So why do European and American countries prefer to lose money and frantically dismantle wind turbines? Is there some unknown secret? Let's look down.

You may not believe it. Wind power can effectively improve the disadvantages of coal power generation. In our eyes, it is a new type of green energy without pollution. However, European and American countries have announced that they will dismantle hundreds of wind turbines. Why? Is wind power really garbage? The main reasons are as follows. First of all, the stability of wind power generation is poor. Since the wind power cannot be controlled by humans, when the wind power is too strong, it is necessary to store the unusable power in the storage battery. After the wind power weakens, the electricity in the battery is discharged to make up for it. , which will greatly increase the cost of power generation.

Secondly, wind power can cause harm to birds. According to data, 100,000 to 470,000 birds lose their lives every year because they hit the blades of wind power. Therefore, European and American countries also call wind power a bird strangling machine. Third, wind power will occupy arable land and cause soil erosion. Some experts say that wind turbines will reduce crop yields and cause global warming. Therefore, in some countries with limited land area, it is really not cost-effective to build wind power.

Finally, wind power will affect the quality of life of the local people, who have to endure severe noise pollution every day. If the generator fails, they may lose their living homes due to sudden fires. Therefore, driven by these internal worries and foreign aggression, European and American countries can only reluctantly give up their love and dismantle the generator, so why is China still vigorously building it? Don't you worry about negative effects? Shall we look down?

do you know? Seemingly harmless to humans and animals, wind power generation actually hides little-known drawbacks. Because of this, the United States dismantled 460 wind turbines at one time, but China is still vigorously building it, and has built the world's largest wind turbine. Jiuquan Wind Power Base, why is this? According to statistics, the global wind energy is about 2.74 times 109 megawatts, of which the available wind energy is about 2 times 107 megawatts, which is 10 times more than the total amount of water energy that can be developed and utilized on the earth, and China's wind energy is even more reserves. Large and widely distributed.

Back in 1986, China successfully built the Malan Wind Power Plant. Although our wind power generation started relatively late compared to European and American countries, we are already at the world's leading level in terms of technology and scale. It is precisely because of this that we use technology to perfectly solve the inherent drawbacks of wind power generation, and because of China's vast land and resources, the geographical location for power plants to choose from is very rich, in order not to affect people's quality of life, but also for the development of wind power generation. To provide more room for improvement, China's wind power plants are mainly built in sparsely populated areas such as Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia.

Of course, in order to avoid making wind power a machine for twisting birds, China has also dismantled wind turbines near Longgang Lake, and in the later reconstruction process, it is also trying to avoid the only way of bird migration and birds. home to survive. According to data, as of the end of October 2021, China's wind power generation has achieved 299 million kilowatts of electricity. Compared with Europeans and Americans who lost watermelons and picked up sesame seeds, China's wind power generation has reached a height that has attracted the attention of the world. I wonder if European and American countries will regret it after seeing it? See you next time.
