Wind energy is the driver of industrial and economic development/necessity of optimal use of wind energy

According to the social reporter of Moj News Agency, the crisis of urban spaces lacking quality of life is one of the challenges environmental Such as air pollution, lack of water, changes in climatic conditions, the deep gap between man and nature, and the differentiation of native and natural conditions are the problems that have plagued human society for decades.

One of the important risks in reducing environmental comfort is improper ventilation and occurrence of phenomena dust It is usually common in the cities of arid and semi-arid regions due to the change of climatic conditions, poor vegetation and strong surface winds. Therefore, many studies indicate that ignoring the fundamental urban ecological indicators such as mass to space ratio, density of buildings, the amount of urban green space, etc. will lead to the city becoming resistant to wind flow after necessary planning. become, the main wind flow paths are blocked, the ventilation conditions of the city are reduced and finally a big obstacle is formed for the optimal air quality, healthy and orderly development of cities.

June 25, 2021, was named as “World Wind Day” by the European Wind Energy Association and the World Wind Energy Council. The purpose of this choice is to raise awareness about the role and importance of wind in different ecosystems and climate changes, as well as the use of wind energy as an inexhaustible, clean and free resource. According to the information of this forum, wind energy is usually desired by environmentalists, but every type of energy costs the environment, and wind energy is no exception. Using wind power is one of the cleanest and most sustainable ways to generate electricity because it does not produce toxic pollution and emit greenhouse gases.

The role of air flow corridors in urban oxygen balance

“Mohsen Davari”, an environmental activist and expert, stated that the air flow corridors play an essential role in order to create urban ventilation and said: these corridors also help to transfer fresh air from the city area into the city, balance the amount of urban oxygen, reduce the amount of dust and Fine dust and urban microclimate improvement also have a great impact. Therefore, using wind to prevent polluted air is very effective.

He added: It is not always possible to use wind in the desert cities of Iran due to the presence of dusty winds, but if there is a favorable wind, urban design and planning should be such that the favorable winds are used to the fullest and reduce the negative effects of unfavorable winds. . Harsh climatic conditions, lack of rain, humidity, and vegetation in desert areas lead to sand storms and decrease in air quality. Therefore, knowing the principles and rules governing the physical structure of desert cities in order to create ecological networks of air flow and urban resilience is of great importance.

Optimal use of wind energy

This environmental expert explained that the construction of wind turbines and electricity production helps to prevent energy wastage, and stated: One of the most important factors polluting the environment, especially in our country of Iran, is the consumption of fossil energy, but with the implementation of sustainability principles. Environment can fight this problem. Wind turbines and electricity production, according to the increasing trend of using new energies, a movement should be made in the production of such energies so that they can be used to provide part of the energy in the event of an energy crisis in the world. One of these ways is the generation of electricity by wind turbines. Wind energy employment creates jobs not only in the production of turbines and electric energy, but also in many industries and other economic sectors. In more than 80 countries around the world, the wind of this clean and renewable source is used to generate energy, especially electricity.

Advantages and disadvantages of using wind energy

He further stated: using renewable energy available in nature and saving fossil fuel costs, helping to reduce environmental pollution and creating an uplifting environment for living, creating tourist attractions near wind farms, ending the dependence of electricity production on world political issues. Due to the change in the price of oil, etc., it is one of the advantages of using wind energy. Also, for the disadvantages of using wind energy, it can be said that the wind is unpredictable, so it is not reliable on its own, wind turbines create noise pollution, it is not possible to install large wind turbines near residential areas, and large wind farms affect the environment. It is destructive. In general, by replacing every 1% of wind energy with generated electricity, it is possible to reduce about 3% of greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel power plants.

The future of wind power market in Iran

Davari, stating that the market of wind power plants in Iran is flourishing, said: entering this market can guarantee a good future for investors in the long term. Therefore, if Iran is viewed as a base for the production of equipment and supply of specialized human resources, the markets of the regional countries can be considered.
