Operating Cost And Value Analysis Of Wind Power

With the development of society and industry,demand for energy isgrowing.Traditional fossil energy,such as coal and oil is difficult to meet the growingdemand for energy,at the same time,traditional fossil energy also pollute to theenvironment,therefore,development of new energy will be necessary. Wind generationas a kind of environmental protection renewable energy already, has draw much moreattention of countries around the world,and gradually obtained the widelydevelopment and utilization.Wind power,which play an important in reduceing the consumption of fossil fuelsand greenhouse gas emissions,curbing global warming,preserving the ecologicalbalance,improving the power structure.The advantages of wind power generation hasbeen recognized,but the cost of wind power is still very high,it is difficult to competewith traditional fossil energy generation,which restricts the development of windpower.Therefore,there have important practical significance in promoting thedevelopment of wind power industry and controlling environment pollution tocomprehensive study of the cost wind power and the influence factors and find someways to reduce the cost of wind power generating. At the same time,it don’t considerthe environmental pollution in the power generation process when the governmentformulate tariff in the existing electricity market system. The environmental value ofwind power have not been embodied reasonablely.So this article mainly focused onthe application value of wind power.Firstly,this paper analysis the economic of wind power from the cost of windpower perspective,describes the impacts of wind farm site selection,investmentcost,operation and maintenance cost,financial cost,gives a mathematical model tocalculate the unit cost of wind power,finds some ways to reduce the cost of windpower combination of the mathematical models.Then,analysis and study the operating cost of wind power,gets twocharacteristics of wind power generation different thermal power generation,describesthe additional cost when the wind power connect the grid,by the calculation ofthermal power plants emissions and the environment cost,gets the environmentalvalue of wind farms.Finally,builds the mathematical model of operation value of wind generation, analysis the impacts of the operation value of wind generation factors,with a capacityof5000kW wind farms as an example,calculates the operation value of this wind farmat approximately200million yuan in each year.
