Cost-Benefit Analysis for the Concentrated Solar Power in China
Solar chimney power plant (SCPP) is still in the early experiment stage, but some scholars have begun to focus on the cost-benefit of SCPP.
Solar chimney power plant (SCPP) is still in the early experiment stage, but some scholars have begun to focus on the cost-benefit of SCPP.
In this case, the cost advantage of solar PV could be further amplified. The decline in costs for solar power and storage systems offers opportunity for solar-plus-storage systems to serve as a cost-competitive source for the future energy system in China.
According to data released by the National Energy Administration, the cumulative total installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation in China in 2020 was 253GW, a year-on-year increase of 23.8%. As photovoltaics gradually enter the era of parity and 14-five-year plan, the installed capacity will show a more rapid growth trend.
In particular, in the economically developed eastern provinces (e.g. Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong etc.), the PV electricity (mainly BIPV) is 0.67–0.86 RMB/kWh. The cost of LSPV stations ranges from 0.45 to 0.75 RMB/kWh, lower than the BIPV system owing to the scale effect and the strong solar radiation.
According to our analysis, if electricity prices of the provinces remain unchanged, the cost of PV electricity could be reduced to 0.52–1.22 RMB/kWh by 2015, which is comparable with the grid prices in regions with large PV capacity and high electricity prices, such as Guangdong, Beijing, and Shanghai.
With addition of 48.2 GW in 2020, China’s installed capacity of solar PV rose to 253.4 GW (12), far ahead of a target of 105 GW set for 2020 in the 13th 5-y plan (17). The large-scale installation of solar power both globally and in China has promoted improvements in PV conversion efficiencies and reductions in generation costs.
As photovoltaics gradually enter the era of parity and 14-five-year plan, the installed capacity will show a more rapid growth trend. According to the incomplete statistics of CPIA, 16 enterprises in China's photovoltaic industry completed 18 financing projects in 2019, with a corresponding financing scale of 36.27 billion yuan.
