Abstract：Large scale wind energy resources are difficult to accurately assess. This study uses a numerical weather prediction model and wind data from 2000 to 2016 to calculate the wind speeds in the Yalong River area for about 17 years. The wind energy resources in the Yalong River area are assessed in terms of the spatial distribution of the average wind speed, the spatial distribution of the wind energy density, the annual distribution of the wind speed, and the temporal and spatial distribution of the annual exploitable wind energy. The analyses give the temporal and spatial features of the wind energy resources in the Yalong River area. There are several wind resource rich regions in the Yalong River area, such as the region near the longitude line of Ganzi, the region between the Ninglang River and the Ganyu River, and the Anning River valley. These results can be used for site selection for wind energy resources.
