Environmental Impact and Control Measures of New Wind Power Projects

In many countries, the development of wind power capacity has proceeded recently. Wind power projects are a new kind of energy utilization projects, which mean no fossil energy consumption, little environmental pollution, short construction cycle, flexible construction scale, and have good social and economic benefits. Producing electricity from wind plays a very important role in developing new energies and improving the environment. This text analyzes the main influence of new wind power projects on environment, which mainly embodys in noise, waste water, solid waste, lighting, electromagnetic radiation, ecology etc., taking a wind power project as an example, and corresponding control measures are put forward in pertinence.
