IN THE VIET NAM SEA TOWARDS THE GOAL OF MITIGATING THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY IN THE WORLD AND PROPOSALS FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

This paper presents the status of wind resources exploitation in the world in general and offshore wind in particular. This paper introduces the calculation of wind energy density in the high 100 m of air, the method for zoning of ofshore wind resources in Viet Nam and proposing solutions to research and development of offshore wind energy, responding to climate change. The sea area of Viet Nam has the potential of huge sea wind energy resources, with 0-30 m of sea area of 111,000 km² with a capacity of 64,000 GW, 30-60 m water with an area of 142,000 km². Summary potential yield is 106 thousand GW. The most promising area is the coastal area of Binh Thuan-Ca Mau with a density of nearly 1000 w/m² reached the highest in Viet Nam and world-class, and has been deployed wind farms in Bac Lieu, Ca Mau The total capacity is 1GW, and the area up to 2030 will be 8 GW. The paper proposes to research and develop wind energy to contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, aiming to reduce the impacts of climate change.
