摘要: In this study, we develop an updated global estimate of onshore wind energy potential using reanalysis speed data, along with turbine technology performance, land suitability factors, cost assumptions, and explicit consideration transmission distance in the calculation costs. We find that has to supply a significant portion world needs, although varies substantially by region assumptions such as on what types can be used site farms. Total economic under central is, intermediate between optimistic pessimistic, is estimated approximately 119.5 petawatt hours per year (13.6 TW) at less than 9 cents/kWh. A sensitivity analysis eight key parameters presented. Wind sensitive number input parameters, particularly (varying −70% +450% cents/kWh), (by −55% +25%), density (...
