Analysis of the Possibility of Using Renewable Energy Sources in Recreational Zones of the Irkutsk Region

摘要

The article discusses issues related to solving the problems of energy supply for recreational areas in the Baikal region of the Irkutsk region. They are characterized by a significant energy deficit. Since Olkhon Island is distinguished by an abundance of strong winds, an analysis of the average annual values of wind speed in this area was carried out. The performed calculation showed the feasibility and possibility of building wind power plants on the island part of the lake. The issues of the operation of wind power plants, climatic and economic prerequisites for their effective operation are considered. Also, a set of measures for the socio-economic development of the central ecological zone of the Baikal natural territory using renewable energy sources was considered. To ensure a more efficient and reliable power supply to the island's consumers, it was decided to connect them to the energy system of the Irkutsk Region. A power supply scheme for Olkhon Island using wind power plants (wind turbines) is proposed, as well as solutions for the efficient use of wind turbines when they work together with centralized power supply systems of Olkhon Island.
