| Popis: | The development of the Arctic territories of Russia requires reliable sources of electricity, the nature of which is due to the geographical features of the region. In this regard, new solutions are needed. In addition to small nuclear reactors, wind energy is promising. Geophysical determinants of its development are associated by the authors not only with climate-forming factors, but also with other natural properties of the territory - orographic features, cold, permafrost, etc. It is noted about half of the enormous technical potential of Russian wind energy is concentrated in the Arctic zone. Although almost all Arctic regions have a comparable powerful potential for wind energy, the strategy for the development of wind energy largely depends on the concentration within them of the population, economic objects, transport infrastructure, etc. The contradictory relationship between the geophysical and economic conditions for the development of wind energy is analyzed. It is emphasized that in a number of remote regions of the Far North and the Far East wind energy is not a source of profit, but is designed to perform socially and environmentally important functions |
