Maoba River Solar Power Station

Does China have a spatial map of PV power stations?

Although some researchers released several PV power station maps, most only met a medium resolution of 30 meters 9, 10. There thus still lacks a national map of China’s PV power stations with a higher spatial resolution (i.e., 10 meters) that could provide a global understanding of PV’s spatial deployment patterns.

Where are PV power stations located in China?

It should also be noted that with the rapid development of China’s PV industry, increasingly more eastern provinces built large-scale PV power stations, including Jiangsu, Anhui and Shandong Province. Areas of PV power stations for each province of China.

How many ground-mounted PV power stations are there in China?

According to our dataset, China has a total of 2467.7 km 2 ground-mounted PV power stations in 2020. The top three largest provinces refer to Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Qinghai, whose PV area ratio are 14.92%, 12.49% and 11.26%, respectively, with a total of nearly 40% of all the PV power stations of China.

How many hydropower stations does Yalong River base have?

The Yalong River Base has launched seven large hydropower stations and five new energy projects, with a total installed capacity of nearly 21 million kilowatts and an annual power generation capacity of about 90 billion kilowatt-hours.

What is remote sensing derived dataset for large-scale photovoltaic power stations in China?

We provide a remote sensing derived dataset for large-scale ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) power stations in China of 2020, which has high spatial resolution of 10 meters. The dataset is based on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) cloud computing platform via random forest classifier and active learning strategy.

How will The Lianghekou hydropower station work?

Being the first phase project of the Yalong River's Lianghekou Hydropower Station, which was put into operation in March with a total installed capacity of three million kilowatts, electricity generated by Kela will be connected to the Lianghekou and then integrated into the power grid. The two will help to shape a grand renewable energy base.
