What is the solar energy potential of highways in China?
The annual solar energy potential of Chinese highways at the prefecture-level city scale. According to the obtained results, the highway solar energy potential in China is 3,932 TW. Fig. 9 shows that cities with high highway solar energy potential is mostly located in the northwest, north, and south-central parts of China.
What is the solar energy potential of a highway?
Generally, the intensity of solar radiation received by a highway is low around sunrise and sunset. Therefore, the potential of solar energy lost during these periods is small, even if the highway is shadowed by surrounding terrain. 4.3. Assessment of the solar energy potential of highways in China
How do shaded areas affect solar energy potentials of PV highways?
The solar energy potentials of PV highways are influenced by shadow areas on the highway surface created by the surrounding terrain. In this study, a total of 615 paired blocks of DEM and highway data were used to calculate the hourly shaded areas of highways throughout China, as described in Section 3.2.
