Where are PV power stations located in Inner Mongolia?

Inner Mongolia’s PV power stations are mainly established in the sandy land (44 km 2), accounting for 38% of the total area. Fig. 9 shows the typical conversion from grassland (sparse grass and moderate grass), sandy land and gobi to PV power stations between 2005 and 2019. Fig. 8. Percentage of land cover types converted into PV power stations.

Where are PV power stations located in China?

PV power stations in the Northwest tend to be developed in the form of large-scale centralized PV parks. Land used for PV power stations were mainly converted from Gobi desert, sandy land, sparse and moderate grassland. The focus of China’s PV industry is shifting from the northwest to the south and east.

Why do we need to monitor photovoltaic power development in China?

Particularly, in China, the number and scale of photovoltaic (PV) power stations have grown unprecedentedly in the last decade. There is an urgent need to monitor the PV power development in order to accurately estimate national renewable potentials and understand the ecological impacts.

Why are PV power stations growing in China?

Energy policies are the main factor driving the rapid development of PV power stations in China (Fig. 10 a) (Yang et al., 2020). Since 2004, China’s PV production has experienced tremendous growth due to the dramatic increase in demand for PV in European countries and reached number one in the world in 2007 (Xu, 2016).

Which provinces have the greatest potential for Floating photovoltaic systems?

Benefiting from abundant local water resources, Hubei, Guangxi, and Jiangsu have the greatest potential for developing floating photovoltaic systems, as shown in Fig. 5. Fig. 5. The potential installed capacity of FPV in each province on average. Note: The cumulative installed capacity is in 2022.

What is the tilt angle of a Floating photovoltaic system?

A tilt angle of 10° southward was selected for the floating photovoltaic system in this paper according to the latitude of China. Since the PV panels are tilted, narrow rows can cause a shadow effect, resulting in partial light loss. In addition, a certain amount of space should be reserved between lines for daily operation and maintenance.
