The global wind energy resources are abundant, mainly concentrated in North America, Asia and Latin America.
Wind energy is the kinetic energy generated by a large amount of air flowing on the earth's surface. It is estimated that the global total wind energy is about 65.438+03 billion kilowatts, of which 20 billion kilowatts can be utilized, which is 654.38+00 times larger than the total water energy that can be developed and utilized on the earth, reaching 53 trillion kWh per year.
Wind energy resources are greatly influenced by topography, and most of the world wind energy resources are concentrated in coastal areas and contraction zones of open continents, mainly distributed in North America, Asia, Latin America and other places.
The global installed capacity of wind power has increased steadily, with a cumulative installed capacity of 650GW.
In 20 19, the newly installed capacity of global wind power exceeded 60GW, an increase of 19% over the previous year. In 20 19, the cumulative installed capacity of the global market was 650GW. Among them, the installed capacity of onshore wind power increased by 54.2GW, up by 17% year-on-year, and the cumulative installed capacity reached 62 1 GW.
The Asia-Pacific region leads the global wind power development, with the cumulative installed capacity accounting for 565,438+0%.
Judging from the regional distribution of global wind power cumulative installed capacity, the Asia-Pacific region continues to lead the global wind power development, with the newly added installed capacity accounting for 50.7% of the global total in 20 19. Followed by Europe (25.5%), North America (16. 1%), Latin America (6. 1%) and Africa and the Middle East (1.6%).
In 20 19, the newly installed capacity of global onshore wind power was 54.2GW, and the top five were China (23.8GW), the United States (9. 1GW), India (2.4GW), Spain (2.3GW), Sweden (1.6GW), and others. In terms of new installed capacity, China still ranks first, which is closely related to the policy support for new energy in China's economic transformation.
The installed capacity of offshore wind power fluctuates, and Britain is the largest offshore wind power market country in the world.
In recent years, the new installed capacity of offshore wind power generation in the world is fluctuating and rising. In 20 19, the installed capacity of offshore wind power was 6. 1GW, accounting for 10% of the newly installed capacity in the world. In 20 19, the cumulative installed capacity of global offshore wind power was close to 29. 1GW, up by 23% over the previous year.
By the end of 20 19, Europe continued to maintain its position as the largest offshore wind power market in the world, and nearly 69% of the global offshore wind power facilities were located in the offshore waters of 1 1 European countries. Among them, Britain is currently the largest offshore wind power market country in the world, with a cumulative installed capacity of 9723MW, accounting for 33% of the global installed capacity;
Followed by Germany, with a cumulative installed capacity of 7493MW, ranking second in the world. In 20 19, China's offshore wind power increased by 2395MW, with a cumulative installed capacity of 6838MW, ranking third in the world.
