Introduction and Advantages of Centralized Photovoltaic Power Stations
A centralized photovoltaic power station refers to a large-scale photovoltaic power plant built in areas with vast, unused land such as deserts, Gobi, water surfaces, barren land, and mountainous regions, where solar energy resources are relatively stable. The generated power is directly connected to the public grid and integrated into the high-voltage transmission system. The grid manages and distributes the power to users, with common grid voltages typically being 35 kV or 110 kV.
Centralized photovoltaic power stations require high land quality, and the common land types used include deserts, abandoned mining sites, Gobi, saline-alkali land, wasteland, and tidal flats. The investment cost is relatively high, construction periods are long, and the land area required is large.
Centralized photovoltaic power stations are categorized by installed capacity into large, medium, and small types. Large-scale plants typically refer to those with a capacity greater than 500 MW, medium plants generally range from 50 to 500 MW, and small plants usually have a capacity of less than 50 MW.
Advantages of centralized photovoltaic power stations:
More Flexible Site Selection and Operation Methods
Low Operating Costs, Easy Centralized Management
Increased Photovoltaic Output Stability: It makes full use of the positive peak-shaving characteristics of solar radiation and electricity load, helping to reduce peak loads.
