Abstract
The paper examines the environmental impact of energy facilities, namely harmful emissions to the atmosphere, pollutants into the waters, and contamination of the surrounding areas. The energy facilities emissions of nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, particulates and CO2 as well as fine particles of ash have the most negative environmental impact. Based on the reporting data on electricity generation and emissions of energy facilities for the period from 2011 to 2015, it is determined the average number of emissions per quantity of produced energy in the region.
The development of wind power engineering in promising regions of Russia can become an alternative to traditional energy facilities. The paper evaluates the wind resources of the Lower Volga region (Astrakhan, Volgograd and Rostov regions) on the basis of long-term meteorological measurements of 5 meteorological stations for 2006-2016 taking into account the correction factors: the roughness of the underlying surface, the wind speed increase with height. Based on the ratio of the rotor diameter to the working height of the wind power plants (more than 80 models), an average value of this dependence is obtained in order to determine the correction factors taking into account the diameter of the rotor. The resulting value of possible annual electricity generation by wind power plants of various diameters allows the researchers to evaluate the effect in reducing the negative impact of thermal power plants.
