16. The advantages of renewable energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaic power generation in the power system are as follows:
1. Solar energy resources are inexhaustible and are widely distributed on the earth. Photovoltaic power generation systems can be used wherever there is light, and are not restricted by factors such as region and altitude.
2. Solar energy resources are available everywhere and can be used to provide power nearby without having to transport them over long distances.
3. The energy conversion process of photovoltaic power generation is simple. It is a direct conversion from light energy to electrical energy. There is no intermediate process and mechanical movement, and there is no mechanical wear.
The initial investment in new energy is high! Because it is usually a one-time investment! In the long run, its cost will be reduced! As for coal power, coal is the main consumption, so it must be calculated into the cost! Coal power It’s more expensive! Wind and sunshine are given by nature, so you don’t have to spend any money! Wind power and photovoltaic power generation only cost the equipment investment once, and you will spend less in the future! The price of wind power and photovoltaic power generation equipment is not very low. Maybe with the advancement of technology in the future, the price of equipment will come down!
