China is the world''s largest emitter of carbon dioxide and the second-largest consumer of energy, placing it in a pivotal role in global efforts to tackle the energy challenge and mitigate climate change (Liu et al., 2010) the end of 2019, China''s total installed capacity for renewable energy power generation reached 790 GW, accounting for approximately 30% of
Nature - To meet China''s goal of carbon neutrality by 2060, substantial investment in upgrading power systems needs to be made to optimize the deployment of new
I n 2020, China announced an ambitious plan to reduce its carbon emissions — by 2060, 80% of its total energy mix will come from non-fossil-fuel sources.
Fig. 6. Annual power generation and potential installed capacity of concentrated solar power (CSP) plants with four different technologies by province in China: (A) Parabolic trough collector (PTC), (B) linear Fresnel collector (LFC), (C) central receiver system (CRS), and (D) parabolic dish system (PDS).
Furthermore, many studies have shown that China's solar PV technical potential far exceeds the country's total electricity consumption, and a small fraction of it can make a significant contribution to China's energy transition.
This reflects the abundance of solar energy resources in China and demonstrates the potential for the development of CSP technology. If CSP is developed according to its potential, it can generate a significant fraction of China's electricity consumption in the future.
As shown in Fig. 3, the best solar energy resources in China are mainly concentrated in the western regions of Inner Mongolia, Tibet, Qinghai, Xinjiang, Gansu, Yunnan, and Sichuan. The annual mean DNI of these areas is between 1700 and 3100 kWh/m 2, which satisfies the standard for establishing CSP stations per Section 2.1. Fig. 3.
The results show that China is rich in solar resources and has excellent CSP development potential. Approximately 11% of China's land is suitable for the construction of CSP stations, of which more than 99% is concentrated in five provinces in the northwest region (i.e., Xinjiang, Tibet, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, and Ningxia).
The cost of solar PV electricity generation is affected by many local factors, making it a challenge to understand whether China has reached the threshold at which a grid-connected solar PV system supplies electricity to the end user at the same price as grid-supplied power or the price of desulfurized coal electricity, or even lower.
