News from the Wind Power Network: Long Island Wind Power gave way to migratory birds. With the removal of wind turbines, environmental protection efforts are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The wind turbine demolished this time is located in the Long Island National Nature Reserve. The operation of the generator set has damaged the ecological environment of the reserve and seriously affected the species balance, especially the habitat, migration and living environment of birds. In recent years, with the vigorous development of wind power in the central and southern regions, the relationship between wind power and the environment has received more and more attention. So what are the impacts of wind power on the environment?
1. The impact of wind power on the environment The impact of wind power on the environment can be divided into two stages: the construction period and the operation period, which can be analyzed from the aspects of the impact on the ecological environment, acoustic environment, water environment, atmospheric environment, and solid waste. In the process of wind power development, it is necessary to reasonably plan roads and routes, establish a sound supervision system, achieve civilized construction, implement environmental protection measures in accordance with environmental protection approvals, and reduce the impact of wind power development on the ecological environment to a controllable level. After the construction period is over, Do a good job of vegetation restoration as soon as possible.
2. How to avoid the risk of environmental protection to the project in the early development of wind power
1. Do a good job in site selection and implementation in the early stage.
Protected areas can generally be divided into core areas, experimental areas, and buffer zones. The location of wind farms should avoid the core and experimental areas of nature reserves. Whether the buffer zone is available should be combined with the comments of the local environmental protection department. The site selection of wind farms must comply with local land use requirements.
2. The location of wind turbines, route planning, road planning, and location of booster stations must all meet the requirements of environmental protection.
The main environmental protection objectives of wind farms generally include: concentrated residential areas within a certain range around the project area, protection of cultural relics, scenic spots, water sources, and ecologically sensitive points, etc. In the process of wind farm development, fully investigate the environmental protection objectives and mark them out. In the process of wind farm design, avoid the safety distance to reduce the impact on the environment.
Comprehensively integrating the environmental benefits of wind power and implementing environmental protection measures in the development of wind power, the environmental impact can be kept within a controllable range.
