Where in China is a photovoltaic power station?

In the arid northwestern China's Gonghe, the Longyangxia hydro-solar photovoltaic (PV) power station, with a capacity of 320 MWp and a surface area of 9.16 km 2, has been connected to the state grid since the end of 2013 .

Is PV power a problem in China?

Meanwhile, PV power has gradually raised huge concerns in China. According to statistics 7, the installed capacity of PV power in China was only 100 MW in 2007, but grew rapidly to 205,000 MW in 2019, with an average growth of 17,075 MW per year.

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.

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.

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 is FPV installed in China?

For the absolute number of installed capacities, for FPV, the potential installed capacity in central China, east China, south China, and southwest China does not differ greatly, while the installed capacity in the remaining three northern regions is significantly less than the others. Fig. 10.
