An assessment of wind energy potential in the Beibu Gulf considering the energy demands of the Beibu Gulf Economic Rim [PDF]
Abstract The Beibu Gulf Economic Rim of China is a key economic region in China as demonstrated by the “Beibu Gulf Cities Development Project” (2017) that plans to build a “Blue Livable Gulf” to balance environmental protection while providing sustainable economic development. This region has significant energy needs and is predicted to exhibit rapid
