Research Progress on the Impact of Wind Farms on Regional and Global Climate

The influence of wind energy on the energy cycle and atmospheric circulation in nature and the possible impact on the climate are the hotspots in recent years. The comprehensive analysis of domestic and foreign research shows that the wind farms have a certain impact on regional and global precipitation, temperature, humidity, evaporation, wind speed and other climatic factors, but the conclusions varies from different methods and theoretical. Because of the limitation of the existing observations, simulation results of climate models also have many uncertainties, researchers should continuously improve the observation method and the optimization of climate model, improve the relevant theory, so as to obtain more accurate conclusions.
