What is the potential of solar PV power generation in Xinjiang?

(3) In the situation where the construction of PV power plants in Xinjiang is fully developed, the theoretical potential of annual solar PV power generation in Xinjiang is approximately 8.57 × 10 6 GWh. This is equivalent to 2.59 × 10 9 tce of coal. Furthermore, 6.58 × 10 9 t of CO 2 emissions can be reduced.

Why is China focusing more on solar photovoltaic (PV)?

The solar photovoltaic (PV) power is abundant, clean, and convenient and also has been considered as one of the most promising renewable energies [5, 6]. Due to the ever-increasing energy and environmental pressures, China is switching to focus more on fostering the PV industry.

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.

What is the growth rate of photovoltaic technology in China?

According to Fig. 2, between 1992 and 2018, the innovation in photovoltaic energy generation, distribution, and transmission technologies rose by an average of 20% in China.

What is the progress made in solar power generation by PV technology?

Highlights This paper reviews the progress made in solar power generation by PV technology. Performance of solar PV array is strongly dependent on operating conditions. Manufacturing cost of solar power is still high as compared to conventional power. Abstract

Does Xinjiang have power generation potential?

PV power generation potential is approximately 27 times the energy consumption of Xinjiang in 2020. Through the suitability assessment and calculations, we found that Xinjiang has significant potential for PV systems. 1. Introduction
