With the transformation and upgrading of the global energy structure, wind power, as a mainstay of clean energy, is expanding its application scenarios from coastal plains to complex environments such as plateau and mountainous areas. However, plateau regions present unique environmental factors, including low atmospheric pressure, strong ultraviolet radiation, and significant diurnal temperature variations, which pose notable challenges to the long-term reliability of wind turbine insulation systems. Based on this, this paper explores and analyzes the impact of plateau environments on the insulation aging characteristics of wind turbines, proposing corresponding improvement measures. The aim is to provide necessary references for enhancing the insulation performance of wind turbines in plateau environments.
