Urbanization in Shenyang Slowing Wind Speed and Energy Resources Decline
The study analyzed wind speed and wind energy resources in Shenyang from 1961 to 2020, looking at how urban development affects them. Wind speed has been decreasing since 1961, but the rate of decrease slowed down after 2010. Wind speed and energy vary monthly, with peaks in April. Southwest wind is the most common direction. Urbanization has led to a slight weakening of wind speed in Liaoning Province, with an average decrease of 0.15 m/s in Shenyang.
