The reason why the East-East Line waterfront photovoltaic project is known as the Great Green Wall is its clean and sustainable energy.
1. Energy Cleanliness: The Middle East is the world’s largest exporter of oil and gas resources. The extraction and use of traditional energy sources has caused serious damage to the environment. Water surface photovoltaic project is a kind of clean energy which can effectively reduce the emission of harmful gases such as carbon dioxide and is conducive to improving the regional environment and ecology.
2. Energy sustainability: The Middle East has a dry climate and scarce water resources. Traditional thermal and nuclear power generation requires a large amount of fresh water resources. Surface photovoltaic projects can use solar energy over water to produce electricity without any utility costs.er fresh water, which can effectively improve energy sustainability and save water resources.
In terms of pure system construction, water photovoltaic systems are mainly divided into water pile type and water floating platform type.
1. Since the construction of the foundation of the water pile photovoltaic system is more difficult, the cost will also increase to a certain extent. (For example, pump water, then drive the stakes, then attach the support)
2. The advantages and disadvantages of floating water photovoltaics are as follows:
1. the advantages are as follows:
< p>①Save land use: Built on water, it does not occupy land resources and can reduce land acquisition costs.② Increase power generation: Water has a cooling effect on photovoltaic modules, which can suppress the increaseof the surface temperature of the modules, thus obtaining higher energy production. According to a comparative analysis of experiments at a large-scale floating photovoltaic power plant in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, the panel's power output increased by about 14% due to the surface cooling effect. some water.
③ Reduce evaporation and algae reproduction: Covering solar panels on the water surface can theoretically reduce water evaporation and inhibit algae reproduction in water, which is beneficial for the protection of water resources.
④ Convenient operation and maintenance: Photovoltaic power plants are built in water, which can reduce dust pollution on components and facilitate cleaning of components. At the same time, it is difficult for users and animals to access the components. which can prevent effectivepeople and animals from damaging components.
⑤ Tourism benefits: The photovoltaic modules carefully arranged on the vast water surface can be used as a unique attraction and become a landscape in the area, bringing tourism benefits.
⑥ Avoid shading of modules: Compared with land, the water surface is relatively open, which can effectively prevent modules from being blocked by mountains, woods, etc. . The solar irradiation area is uniform and the lighting duration is long.
⑦ Reduce the cost of the tracking system: The angles and spacing of the components are consistent, making it easier to install and operate the solar tracking system. There is no need to install a two-axis tracking system for each. solar panel, which greatly reduces the cost of the tracking system.
⑧Cost saving: no foundation or c supportNo component is needed, saving the cost of foundation and supports and reducing costs.
⑨ Convenient consumption: Built in the waters near villages and towns, it can be consumed nearby, reducing adverse factors such as network connection difficulties and power outages, and improving efficiency.
2. There are some disadvantages:
① High requirements for floating equipment: Floating water photovoltaics require floating equipment to support the photovoltaics.Battery panels and floating structures have high requirements for corrosion resistance, low density, frost heave resistance, wind and wave resistance, service life and bearing capacity.
② High requirements for site selection: the site of the floating water photovoltaic farm must be selected in one locationwith a large area, stable runoff, low wind speed, good lighting conditions, low water level changes, good development conditions, and no large-scale navigation, ecologically non-sensitive areas and other waters.
③There are many uncertain factors: strong winds, water level, ice and other factors have a greater impact. At the same time, it is necessary to monitor whether photovoltaic modules have adverse effects on water. quality, fish, plants, etc.
④ Construction difficulty: Many factors need to be considered during the construction process. It is difficult to use a large number of heavy machines for high-efficiency construction in water operations. The process requirements are relatively higher. and the construction period is also increased accordingly. There are many professionsui require diving or being on a boat. Balance and safety must be considered during operations on board, and facilities such as swimming pools and dams must not be damaged.
