The world’s largest solar thermal + photovoltaic integrated power station project was successfully connected to the grid for the first time, providing green energy to 320,000 households..
According to News, recently, the trough-type Unit 3 of the Dubai 950 MW photovoltaic and thermal hybrid power station project undertaken by China Energy Engineering Hunan Thermal Power was successfully connected to the grid for the first time. It is the world’s largest photovoltaic power plant. Thermal + photovoltaic integrated power station project .
The project is located in the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, covering a total area of 44 square kilometers. It is the world’s largest solar thermal + photovoltaic integrated power station project , using “one tower, three slots + photovoltaic “Solar power generation portfolio.
At present, the tower and trough CSP units No. 1 and No. 2 have been connected to the grid and have reached full load, with a total installed capacity of 500MW .
After the project is completed, it can provide green energy to 320,000 households and reduce carbon emissions by 1.6 million tons per year. It is an important part of Dubai’s 2050 energy strategy.
Naijatechnews notes that solar thermal + photovoltaic power generation can make power output more balanced and sustainable, thereby maximizing power generation throughout the day.
Basic principles of photovoltaic power generation : A solar cell is a semiconductor material containing a PN junction. The PN junction can absorb sunlight and establish an electric field inside. When a certain load is connected to both sides of the electric field, a current will be generated in the load.
The basic principle of photothermal power generation : Concentrate sunlight to a solar collection device through a reflector, use solar energy to heat the heat transfer medium (liquid or gas) in the collection device, and then add water to form steam to drive or directly drive a generator to generate electricity.
