Description
Mountain solar power stations refer to photovoltaic power stations built under complex terrain conditions such as mountains and hills. The construction surface is undulating, with different orientations, and is partially accompanied by ravines. The usable area of the terrain is irregular and scattered. The design is difficult and the construction cost is high. Characteristics include reduced power generation efficiency.
The significance of mountain solar:
It is to use sufficient solar radiation energy in mountainous environments and use photovoltaic power generation technology to convert solar energy into electrical energy to meet the power supply needs of mountainous areas. It can effectively save energy, reduce environmental pollution, reduce poverty in mountainous areas, improve the living conditions of local residents, and improve the level of local economic development.
Development model:
It can be divided into distributed type and centralized type. The distributed type uses mountain resources to build multiple small-capacity photovoltaic power generation systems on small-scale land. It can flexibly choose the construction environment and realize investment dispersion and The risk is reduced and small-scale electricity needs can also be met. The centralized mountain photovoltaic system is to build multiple large-capacity photovoltaic power generation systems on a small amount of land. It can meet large-scale power demand and save construction costs. However, due to the concentration of resources, the risks are greater.
Development trends:
In recent years, the development trend of mountain photovoltaics has been very stable, and its installation volume has continued to increase, and it is constantly promoting the scale and efficiency of the mountain photovoltaic power generation market. Mountain photovoltaic power generation technology has become a feasible way to utilize renewable energy, and its development prospects are also very optimistic.
WHB&R Economic benefits of mountain solar:
First, economic benefits, mountain solar power generation can reduce the investment cost of traditional power generation, improve the power supply capacity of the grid, and improve the operating efficiency of the power system;
second, environmental benefits, it can effectively reduce air pollution, Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and extend the vegetation of forests and grasslands;
the third is social benefits. Photovoltaic power generation can bring more employment opportunities to the economic development of mountainous areas, promote economic development, and improve the level of social welfare in mountainous areas.
Challenges in the development of mountain solar include:
1. Feasibility issues: Mountain solar systems need to fully consider factors such as topography, surface coverage, ground verticality, surface structure, etc. Therefore, various feasibility issues need to be taken into consideration during the planning, design, and construction processes.
2. Technical challenges: The design, construction and operation of mountain solar systems need to fully consider the natural environment and topography. Therefore, some technical challenges need to be solved, such as lighting, drainage, vertical installation, power supply, etc.
3. Economic challenges: The construction cost of photovoltaic systems in mountainous areas is often higher than that in plain areas, and maintenance is also very time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, there are also certain economic challenges.
