ABSTRACT

The transition from fossil fuel to a green economy has led to the rise of renewable energy sources. Wind energy stands out because it is free, clean, inexhaustible, has the capacity to generate greater power, and has lower energy costs. From local to global scales, the environmental effects of wind power are frequently positive, in contrast to the negative impacts associated with fossil fuel technologies. These include air pollution, climate change, health risks, high mortality rates, especially in infants, and greenhouse gas emissions. However, all energy sources have an impact on the environment and the economy including wind energy. With the rapid growth of wind energy over the last decade and the future potential of wind power generation, strategic assessment of these environmental and economic impacts, both positive and negative, and developing ways to mitigate these negative impacts are prerequisite operations to be carried out in the overall development of human-, economically- and ecologically-friendly wind energy.

探索风能对环境和经济的影响:成本效益的观点

摘要

从化石燃料向绿色经济的过渡导致了可再生能源的兴起。风能之所以能脱颖而出,是因为它具有自由,清洁,取之不尽,用之不竭,发电能力强,能源成本低等优点。从地方到全球,与化石燃料技术相关的负面影响相比,风力发电对环境的影响通常是积极的。其中包括空气污染,气候变化,健康风险,高死亡率(尤其是婴儿)和温室气体排放。但是,所有能源都会对环境和经济产生影响,包括风能。随着过去十年中风能的快速增长以及风力发电的未来潜力,对这些环境和经济影响(包括正面和负面影响)进行战略评估,
