Xinri Sunshine Solar Power Generation

Does solar radiation affect PV power generation in Xinjiang?

Solar radiation is the dominant factor in the potential for PV power generation in each grid. The results show that the theoretical potential of PV power generation increases as we move from northern Xinjiang to southern Xinjiang ( Figure 6 ).

Which area in Xinjiang is suitable for solar power generation?

Hami and Turpan, in eastern Xinjiang, had sufficiently high and stable solar radiation. (2) The area in Xinjiang classed as highly suitable for solar PV power generation is about 87,837 km 2, which is mainly concentrated in eastern Xinjiang.

Is Xinjiang suitable for PV power generation?

Few studies have made a more comprehensive assessment of the overall PV power generation potential in Xinjiang. Xinjiang has a variety of landscapes, a slightly less developed economy, and a lack of water resources. Indicators for suitability assessments that have been used in other regions may not be suitable to apply in Xinjiang.

Is Xinjiang a good place to get new energy?

With apparent advantages in developing new-energy power generation thanks to its robust winds and plentiful sunshine, the new-energy installed capacity in Xinjiang is the second-highest among all regional branches of State Grid, following only Qinghai province, the State-owned firm said.

Is Xinjiang a solar farm?

The new solar farm has impressed even Elon Musk. Xinjiang is sparsely populated and abundant in solar and wind resources. This makes it an ideal site for massive renewable energy bases that transmit most of their power over long distances to China’s densely populated eastern seaboard.

How much energy will Xinjiang have by 2025?

By 2025, Xinjiang's installed capacity of new energy is expected to exceed 116 million kW, accounting for more than half of Xinjiang's total installed capacity, which provides strong support for continuous energy structure optimization and high-quality economic development of the region.
