XINING, Dec. 26 (Xinhua) -- A photovoltaic project with a power generation capacity of 900 MW went into operation on Sunday in northwest China's Qinghai Province. It is the second-phase project for an ultra-high-voltage power line that transmits electricity from Qinghai to central China's Henan Province, according to China Three Gorges Corporation.
We found that the total installable capacity is at least 44,614.6 GW for China as a whole, resulting in an annual electricity generation potential of 72.7 PWh. However, the spatial distribution of solar PV potential does not match the electricity demand in China.
The mean land suitability factor is approximately 0.1545 for the whole of China. After excluding unsuitable areas, there is still approximately 1,487,346 km 2 of land that can be potentially utilized for solar PV power generation. Fig. 5. Spatial distribution of land suitability for solar PV generation across China.
According to the projection of Chinese scholar, the total electricity demand of China will reach at least 15 PWh by 2060, and thus 20.6% of the total technical potential of solar PV power generation can be developed to meet this electricity demand. Fig. 11.
The challenges of solar PV development in China include grid integration and transmission from resource centers to load centers. The establishment and planning of new power systems based mainly on clean energy should facilitate the integration of fluctuating solar resources in China.
In this study, we combined high-density and high-accuracy station-based solar radiation data from more than 2400 stations and a solar PV electricity generation model to map the technical potential for solar PV generation in China, while simultaneously considering land constraints through geographic information system technology.
