Xujie Solar Power Generation

Does solar radiation affect PV power generation in Xinjiang?

Solar radiation is the dominant factor in the potential for PV power generation in each grid. The results show that the theoretical potential of PV power generation increases as we move from northern Xinjiang to southern Xinjiang ( Figure 6 ).

Is Xinjiang suitable for PV power generation?

Few studies have made a more comprehensive assessment of the overall PV power generation potential in Xinjiang. Xinjiang has a variety of landscapes, a slightly less developed economy, and a lack of water resources. Indicators for suitability assessments that have been used in other regions may not be suitable to apply in Xinjiang.

Can Xinjiang meet its annual electricity demand?

Therefore, a progress level of 25% in Xinjiang was fully capable of satisfying Xinjiang’s annual electricity demand. In terms of PV power generation, 2.14 × 10 6 GWh of PV power generation is equivalent to 6.48 × 10 8 tce of coal combustion for coal-fired power generation.

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.

How many kilowatts does Xinjiang have?

According to data from the National Energy Administration, in the first half, Xinjiang's newly installed capacity of new energy reached 14.08 million kilowatts, including 4.28 million kilowatts of wind power and 9.8 million kilowatts of PV power, up 103 percent year-on-year.

Does Xinjiang Uygur have a new energy capacity?

[SONG YU/FOR CHINA DAILY] With an abundance of strong winds and long hours of sunlight, Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region in Northwest China has seen its newly installed capacity of new energy rise by 103 percent year-on-year during the first half of this year, ranking first in the country, said the local authorities concerned.
