Photovoltaic solar power generation on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Can a multi-type photovoltaic power station be built on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau?

Based on multi-source remote sensing data for information extraction and suitability evaluation, this paper develops a method to comprehensively evaluate the construction potential of multi-type photovoltaic power stations and determine the potential of photovoltaic power generation and carbon emission reduction on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP).

Does Qinghai province have a higher power generation potential than Tibet?

The Qinghai province has significantly higher power generation potential than the Tibet province. The potential data of different areas are given in Table 6. Distribution of the PV power generation potential in the prefecture-level cities of QTP

What is the power generation potential of Qinghai cities?

The cumulative annual power generation potential of the prefecture-level cities ranked as 1–3 accounts for 86.59%. These cities include Haixi, Yushu, and Guoluo, which are all located in the Qinghai prov-ince.

What is the PV power generation potential of QTP?

The comprehensive annual PV power generation potential of QTP reaches 2.96 × 10 13 kW·h, and the difference in the PV power generation potential between prefecture-level cities is large. The cumulative annual power generation potential of the prefecture-level cities ranked as 1–3 accounts for 86.59%.

What is China's 900 MW photovoltaic project?

XINING -- 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.

Is centralized PV power generation suitable for QTP?

(1) The potential of centralized PV power genera-tion and the suitability of power station construc-tion in QTP show obvious spatial heterogeneity.
