Prospects for energy supply in villages of Yakutia using wind energy resources and environmental limitations

Abstract

The problems of energy supply in isolated villages of theRepublic of Sakha (Yakutia) are considered. Mapping of the resourcepotential of wind energy in the Republic of Sakha was performed. Based onthe performance modeling data of the Komai Haltec KWT300 wind turbine,the territory was zoned according to the level of wind potential. The analysisof the possibilities of energy substitution by the use of wind energy in thenorthern region of Yakutia in zones of decentralized energy supply wascarried out. Using GIS tools, a multifactorial analysis of the territory basedon the level of accessibility of power lines, transport routes and the presenceof environmental restrictions, especially nesting and bird habitats (ImportantBird Area in Republic of Sakha) was fulfilled.
