Comparison of 100kWh photovoltaic container power generation in the catering industry with diesel power generation

What is solar photovoltaics?

Owing to fast and comprehensive advancement of technologies and techniques, and vigorous emergence and speedy development of energy internet, solar photovoltaics (PV) has become one of the cleanest, smartest and most economical means of power generations .

Is PV generation economically feasible in China?

By integrating grid costs and balancing costs into conventional LCOE framework, a System LCOE (S-LCOE) model was constructed to evaluate the economic feasibility of PV generation, more accurately. The results revealed that all provincial S-LCOE of China's PV is currently higher than local desulfurized coal electricity price (DCEP).

Are PV projects economically competitive compared to thermal generation?

Based on the comparative analysis of provincial S-LCOE and DCEP, four regions with diverse economic competitiveness were identified. PV projects in Region I and Region II are considered to be potentially competitive comparing to thermal generation, in terms of environmental benefits and S-LCOE, especially in Guangdong, Jilin, and Hainan.

What is PV energy & why is it important?

Unlike traditional thermal generation, PV energy has flexibility and instability under meteorological interference, more efforts need to be made to strengthen the security of the entire grid system, and more investments are applied to maintain transmission facilities and balance power supply and demand .
