Choosing rational locations for placing wind farms in Eurasia with regard to the railway transport specifics

Abstract

On the continent of Eurasia, there is a main point of excess energy resources - a cargo point located on the territory of Western Siberia in Kuzbass. From it, both west and east, excess flows of energy resources are transmitted in the form of electricity or transported in the form of coal over long distances by rail. Electricity is an environmentally cleaner form of energy resources, since it does not pollute the environment. Therefore, in modern conditions, it is necessary to use electricity to a greater extent. There is the possibility of replacing energy-intensive technological operations: from wood and coal, as well as oil and gas to electric energy. This will be possible and advisable to be carried out in new points during the additional construction of production enterprises for the generation of electricity, as well as when replacing existing technical equipment from previously existing fuel sources with electric energy. The generation of electricity from renewable sources becomes appropriate. The placement of wind farms in both the western and eastern parts of the Eurasia continent will make it possible to reduce the transmission distance of electric power from a cargo point by 5 thousand km.
