Bayinguoleng Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation

What is the progress made in solar power generation by PV technology?

Highlights This paper reviews the progress made in solar power generation by PV technology. Performance of solar PV array is strongly dependent on operating conditions. Manufacturing cost of solar power is still high as compared to conventional power. Abstract

Which land is suitable for PV power generation in China?

The results showed that the average suitability score of land in China is 0.1058 and the suitable land for PV power generation is about 993,000 km2 in 2015. The PV power generation potential of China is 131.942 PWh, which is approximately 23 times the electricity demand of China in 2015.

Why is it important to assess photovoltaic power generation potential in China?

Clear spatial dislocations between PV power generation potential and population distribution and electricity demand. Accurate assessment of the photovoltaic (PV) power generation potential in China is important for the reduction of carbon emission intensity and the achievement of the goal of Carbon Neutral.

What is the average LCOE of PV power generation in China?

According to statistics, the average LCOE of the ground PV stations in China is about 0.39 yuan/kWh by 2019, and it is expected that the LCOE of the PV power generation in China will be basically consistent with the average cost of coal-fired power generation by 2021 . In this case, the PV subsidies may be canceled.

Where is PV power generation mainly concentrated in Xinjiang & Inner Mongolia?

In terms of provinces, PV potential is mainly concentrated in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, and other provinces west of the Hu Huanyong Line (Population Distribution Line). The PV power generation potential of the provinces east of this line basically does not exceed 3 PWh, and most of them do not exceed 1 PWh.

Does land cost affect PV power generation in China?

In China, the right to use the land for installing PV facilities needs to be leased or purchased. Therefore, the cost of land is also an important factor affecting the suitability of land for PV power generation in China. This study uses land prices to measure the cost of land.
