马来西亚政府制定了雄心勃勃的可再生能源发展目标。作为一种有前途的可再生能源，风能在马来西亚可再生能源路线图中发挥着重要作用。与陆上风能相比，远离海岸的地区可以提供质量更好的海上风能资源，具有更大的发电潜力。风和水深条件是决定海上风力涡轮机可行性和经济性的两个重要因素。本文对马来西亚周围的风和水深条件进行了调查。数据来源主要来自全球风图集。分析了马来西亚半岛和东马来西亚不同州和联邦领土的沿海地区的状况，特别侧重于风速、风能密度和高风速地区的水深测量条件。数据和调查进行了验证，并与过去发表的文献进行了比较。本文旨在调查马来西亚周围的风和水深条件，评估海上风能的潜力，探讨海上风力发电机的可行性，为马来西亚海上风电的发展提供参考。
The government has set an ambitious target of renewable energy development in Malaysia. As a promising renewable energy source, wind energy plays an important role in the Malaysia renewable energy roadmap. Compared to onshore wind energy, offshore wind resources with better quality can be provided in the areas away from the coast, which has greater potential to contribute to electricity generation. Wind and bathymetry conditions are two important factors that determine the feasibility and economics of offshore wind turbines. In this paper, an investigation is conducted on wind and bathymetry conditions around Malaysia. The data source mainly originates from the Global Wind Atlas. The conditions of the coastal areas in different states and federal territories of both Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia are analysed, with a specific focus on wind speed, wind energy density, and bathymetry conditions in high-wind-speed regions. The data and survey are verified and compared with the past published literature. This paper aims to investigate the wind and bathymetry conditions around Malaysia, assess the potential of offshore wind energy, discuss the feasibility of offshore wind turbines, and provide references for offshore wind development in Malaysia.
