6 FAQs about [Solar power supply column effect in China]
Why is solar energy a problem in China?
Zhao et al (2020) concluded that PV energy potential will likely decrease up to 6% in most of China based on statistically downscaled climate projections. Another important issue is the dependence of solar energy on local weather conditions, making PV output vulnerable to climate change and natural climate variability (Ravestein et al 2018).
Will China's solar energy resource potential surpass national power demand in 2060?
Previous studies have suggested that China's solar energy resource potential surpass the projected nationwide power demand in 2060, yet the uncertainty quantification and cost competitiveness of such resource potential are less studied.
Are wind power and solar energy correlated with load demand in China?
On the daily and monthly scales, except for the southeast region, the total output of wind power and solar energy is negatively correlated with the load demand in most regions of China, indicating that the characteristics of total output of wind power and solar energy are poorly matched with the daily and monthly characteristics of load.
Will PV power output increase or decrease in China?
Other studies pointed out that PV power output in southeastern China will increase, while that in western China will decrease (Wild et al 2015, Yang et al 2018, Zou et al 2019). Zhao et al (2020) concluded that PV energy potential will likely decrease up to 6% in most of China based on statistically downscaled climate projections.
How much solar power will China have in 2022?
The installed solar PV capacity in China increasing from 130.25 GW in 2017 to 392.61 GW in 2022 (IRENA, 2023). Moreover, at the United Nations Climate Ambition Summit, China further announced that the total installed capacity of wind and solar power will reach over 1200 GW by 2030 (The United Nations et al., 2020).
