With the purpose of achieving carbon emission reduction targets, the wind power industry has developed rapidly in recent years. Wind power is greatly affected by climate change, and the increase or decrease of wind speed directly affects wind energy production. Based on the numerical simulation results from a high-resolution (~ 25 km) regional climate model PRECIS, we analyze the changes of future wind speed and wind power potential in the "Three North" (TN) region in China. Firstly, we verify whether the PRECIS can capture the current spatiotemporal patterns in simulating the wind speed compared with observation (CN05.1). The results show PRECIS has a good ability in reproducing the spatiotemporal patterns of wind speed in the eastern part of the TN region, but still has great uncertainty in the northwest. In the future, the projected wind power density in the TN region will increase by about 0.7% in the middle of the 21^st century, but will drop significantly in the end of the century (about −3.32%). Furthermore, Wind power density will increase significantly in winter. However, the wind speed in spring and summer will generally decrease. It is predicted that most of the Northwest (NW) and North (N) will have strong inter-annual variability in the middle of this century, and will be more stable at the end of this century. It should be noted that the potential of wind energy in Northeast (NE) will grow steadily in this century, which will have certain guiding significance for future wind power planning in this region.

To ensure a smooth transition towards peak carbon emissions and carbon neutrality, one key strategy is to promote a low-carbon transition in the energy sector by facilitating the coordinated development of the electricity market, carbon market, and other markets. Currently, China’s national carbon market primarily focuses on the power generation industry. High-energy-consuming industries such as the steel industry not only participate in the electricity market but also play a significant role in China’s future carbon market. Despite existing research on market mechanisms, there remains a significant research gap in understanding how steel enterprises adjust their trading behaviors to optimize costs in multi-market coupling contexts. This study employs a system dynamics approach to model the trading interconnection between electricity trading (ET), carbon emission trading (CET), and tradable green certificates (TGC). Within this multi-market system, thermal power enterprises and renewable generators serve as suppliers of carbon allowances and green certificates, respectively, while steel companies must meet both carbon emission constraints and renewable energy consumption obligations. The results show that companies can reduce future market transaction costs by increasing the proportion of medium to long-term electricity contracts and the purchase ratio of green electricity. Additionally, a lower proportion of free quotas leads to increased costs in the carbon market transactions in later stages. Therefore, it is beneficial for steel companies to conduct cost analyses of their participation in multivariate market transactions in the long run and adapt to market changes in advance and formulate rational market trading strategies.
