Edition: 5th Ed. It is already known that the world’s very large deserts present a substantial amount of energy-supplying potential. Given the demands on world energy in the 21st century, and when considering global environmental issues, the potential for harnessing this energy is of huge import and has formed the backbone and motive for our work.
Compared to 2010, the greening area reached 30.80 km 2 after PV projects. Opportunity to combat desertification and improve people's welfare in desert areas. Solar energy is considered one of the key solutions to the growing demand for energy and to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Desert areas benefit from high irradiation levels , and the photovoltaics power potential in these areas exceeds 2100 kWh/kWp . This means only a small area of desert covered by PV modules can potentially cover today's world's need for electricity , and this drives the major installation market to these areas . ... ...
Therefore, considering the convenience for maintenance (i.e., road density), and the availability of social infrastructure (i.e., population density), these deserts become hot spots for the deployment of PV power stations, and account for approximately 80% of the total area. Fig. 4.
Deserts are becoming the ideal places for constructing photovoltaic (PV) power stations, due to sufficient light conditions and broadly available land resources (Tanner et al., 2020). Apart from croplands, deserts are the most deployed areas for PV power stations worldwide by 2018 (Kruitwagen et al., 2021).
In 2018, MUS had the largest area of PV power stations (30.80 km 2, 30.0%), followed by TenD (29.50 km 2, 28.8%), UBD (11.33 km 2, 11.0%) and HobD (8.14 km 2, 8.0%). Compared with other deserts, these four deserts are located in the central part of north China, and the surrounding areas have a higher level of economic development.
