Xinjiang sets record high wind energy, solar power
New energy electricity generation reached 84.5 billion kWh and accounted for 24 percent of the total electricity produced in Xinjiang in 2020, which is mostly attributed to solar power. It is equal to the power generation
Understanding Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Power
Solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation is the process of converting energy from the sun into electricity using solar panels. Solar panels, also called PV panels, are combined into arrays in a PV system. PV systems

6 FAQs about [Xinyinong Solar Power Generation]
Does solar radiation affect PV power generation in Xinjiang?
Solar radiation is the dominant factor in the potential for PV power generation in each grid. The results show that the theoretical potential of PV power generation increases as we move from northern Xinjiang to southern Xinjiang ( Figure 6 ).
Is Xinjiang suitable for PV power generation?
Few studies have made a more comprehensive assessment of the overall PV power generation potential in Xinjiang. Xinjiang has a variety of landscapes, a slightly less developed economy, and a lack of water resources. Indicators for suitability assessments that have been used in other regions may not be suitable to apply in Xinjiang.
Which area in Xinjiang is suitable for solar power generation?
Hami and Turpan, in eastern Xinjiang, had sufficiently high and stable solar radiation. (2) The area in Xinjiang classed as highly suitable for solar PV power generation is about 87,837 km 2, which is mainly concentrated in eastern Xinjiang.
What is the installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation in Xinjiang?
Especially, the cumulative installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation of Xinjiang reached 9.08 GW , which is the highest one in the northwest of China. Table 4 displays the statistics of photovoltaic power generation in the northwest of China in details.
Where is PV power generation mainly concentrated in Xinjiang & Inner Mongolia?
In terms of provinces, PV potential is mainly concentrated in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, and other provinces west of the Hu Huanyong Line (Population Distribution Line). The PV power generation potential of the provinces east of this line basically does not exceed 3 PWh, and most of them do not exceed 1 PWh.
Can Xinjiang meet its annual electricity demand?
Therefore, a progress level of 25% in Xinjiang was fully capable of satisfying Xinjiang’s annual electricity demand. In terms of PV power generation, 2.14 × 10 6 GWh of PV power generation is equivalent to 6.48 × 10 8 tce of coal combustion for coal-fired power generation.
