According to the researchers who do the study, even a small decrease in wind rate may have an impact on energy production in the European continent.
It makes climate change that there is less wind During the summer of Europe, according to a new research. The constant heating of the world and the troposphere, which is the layer of the atmosphere closest to the surface of the world, makes this phenomenon aggravated.
According to the report published in the ‘Environmental Research Letters’ magazine of Illinois University Urbano-Champaign magazine, velocity reduction The wind is less than 5% between 2021 and 2050. The same process has been recorded in the northern regions of average latitude such as North America.
Thus, small decreases in wind speed May have effects Europe is in the capacity to produce energy, because Europe is increasingly dependent on more renewable resources.
Wind speed can be difficult to measure
In the summer and autumn of 2021, Europe experienced the known things’DroughtA process in which wind rate is about 15% below the annual average.
In the United Kingdom, this ‘drought’ has produced one of the periods with less winds in the last 60 years, which is a harsh Descent of Energy Production wind. This forced the authorities to launch two -closed coal plants to try to compensate for the energy deficit.
However, researchers do not accept what such events mean to the future. May be wind speed Hard -to -measure It is usually affected by the topography of the land or the surrounding buildings. Even the most complete data sets are not very good to capture the tips. In addition, this has been a careless research area for a long time.
In spite of contradictory data, the group of experts in climate change between governments provides a decrease in wind force in the coming decades. From here to 2100, the average speed of winds It can fall up to 10 %.
While using more data, emphasizing historical measurements and conducting more simulation types, new work is a new study. Increased summer window in Europe.
This coincides with other research showing that the heating of our planet has an effect on global wind speed. It will be statistically significant In the second half of this century.
Will there be a problem for renewable energies?
But the effect LANDS OF WIND SPEED I could have long -term renewable energies in Europe. In 2024, wind energy will represent 17% of the EU electric mixture and its capacity will increase. Despite the unequal state of new projects throughout the community block, it is cheaper than fossil energy sources such as natural gas, with numerous delays.
However, even a 5% decrease in wind rate may be important. Ows in wind energy productionAccording to Bloomberg, a researcher, climate scientist and Professor Gan Zhang at Illinois Urbano-Gampign University.
“The energy system represents a marginal market. If you change the margin between 5 % and 10 %, Pric response can be great“In addition, Zhang argues that while producing renewable energy in the future to combat problems that may cause this reduction in wind rate, European authorities should be more creative.
