What is Concentrated Solar Power?
Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) is a renewable energy technology that generates electricity by using mirrors or lenses to concentrate a large area of sunlight onto a …
Most CSP in China is Tower. In a new approach to advancing a high percent of renewable energy on the grid without falling back on gas backup, China set a rule that required 100 MW CSP project in each 1 GW renewable energy park. As of 2023, 30 CSP projects are in development as a result.
For nationwide CSP technical potentials, He et al. adopted 10-year (from 2001 to 2010) hourly solar radiation data from 200 representative sites in China to screen the areas suitable for developing CSP plants considering geographic constraints .
CSP technologies can be classified into four types: parabolic trough collector (PTC), linear Fresnel collector (LFC), central receiver system (CRS), and parabolic dish system (PDS). The schematic view of the applied technologies is shown in Fig. 1. Solar collectors receive maximum solar radiation at the optimum slope and surface azimuth , .
Then, based on technical constraints, the geographical, technical, and CO 2 emission reduction potential of CSP in China were evaluated by province. The results show that China is rich in solar resources and has excellent CSP development potential.
The results show that approximately 1.02 × 10 6 km 2 of land is available to support CSP development in China. Based on the available solar resource on the suitable land, the geographical potential is 2.13 × 10 15 kWh. The potential installed capacity is 2.45 × 10 7 –5.40 × 10 7 MW, considering four CSP technologies.
The LCOE of Sichuan and Yunnan is similar to that of Inner Mongolia, but they are still not suitable for developing CSP technology due to poor land suitability. Xinjiang has low LCOE and the largest proportion of the suitable land area. Therefore, Xinjiang is the most promising province in China to develop large-scale CSP technology. Table 7.
