Solar photovoltaic power generation centralized

Does China need a centralized and distributed photovoltaic system?

Owing to China's escalating demand for renewable energy and carbon emissions reduction, and given its prominent position as one of the fastest-growing nations in photovoltaic (PV) development, a comprehensive assessment of the potential of both centralized and distributed photovoltaic systems in China is crucial.

What is the integrated power generation potential of centralized and distributed PV power stations?

The annual integrated power generation potential of centralized and distributed PV power stations in QTP was 2.96 × 10 13 kW·h, and its spatial aggregation degree was high, 86.59% were distributed in Guoluo, Yushu, and Haixi prefectures in the Qinghai province.

Are distributed PV power plants better than centralized PV power stations?

Although the generation potential of a distributed PV power station is much lower than that of a centralized PV power station, there is a certain negative correlation between them in spatial location, and the construction potential of centralized PV power plants in cities with a large potential for distributed PV power plants is generally low.

Can centralized large-scale PV power plants be developed in China?

For example, the China renewable energy industry development report 2018 , which assessed the potential of centralized large-scale PV power plants, found only 5% of the area of one land use type, Gobi, to be developed. However, the suitability of other geographical and resource environment conditions was not considered.

Can centralized PV power plants be built under multi-decision risk?

Moreover, research involving a comprehensive assessment of regional PV geography, power generation potential, and carbon emission reduction potential has not yet been carried out. Using the AHP-OWA algorithm, a suitable evaluation under multi-decision risk is performed to determine a suitable construction area for centralized PV power plants.

Can small-scale photovoltaic power stations be installed in China?

This study re-estimated the installed potential of centralized large-scale and distributed small-scale photovoltaic power stations in 449 prefecture-level cities in China based on a geographic information system and Google Earth Engine combined with Baidu map data and related geographic information data.
