GHG Emission Assessment of Full Energy Chain for Solar Power in China XA9846093 GHG Emission Assessment of Full Energy Chain for Solar Power in China By: Li Junfeng Renewable Energy Development Center of Energy Research Institute of SPC P.R. China Abstract Solar PV technologies have been made a very important role for meeting the energy demand in the remote area and some commercial case in China. The annual PV production is about 1 MW and the total installation of solar PV is about 3 MW in China. However, from the full energy chain point view, during the manufacturing of solar PV, some energy should be used. This paper will focus on the analysis of full energy chain for the solar PV production and utilization. This paper consists two parts: current status of solar PV production and utilization in China and analysis of greenhouse gas emission from the full energy chain of solar PV production. 1. Current Status of solar PV production and utilization in China 1.1 Research and Development China started to do research on solar cells for space use was in 1958 and for the research on terrestrial PV application began in the early of 1970V After more than 20 years efforts, remarkable achievements have been made on solar cells and PV system technologies. Table 1 shows the efficiency level of various type of solar cells and the comparison between China and abroad. Table 1.

Since 1976, Chinese central government have done much efforts to photovoltaics and put it in the National 5-Year R&D Plans in formally. During 6th (1980-1985), 7th (1986-1990) and 8th (1991-1995) National 5-Year Plan, central government, local government and Ministries have invest more than 300 Million Yuan in photovoltaic industries, R&D activities and demonstrations. 1.2 PV Industry From 1983 to 1989, 7 solar cell production lines were imported from abroad. Plus other existing solar cell factories, there used to be as many as 17 PV manufacturers in China. But more than half of them have small quantity in production or only for space use or stop the production now for some reasons. The situation is shown in Table 2.

See details in table 3. From Table 3, we may see that according to wafer line capacity, the actual annual production in China for crystalline Si solar cells is at most 1.5 MWp even though the total rated capacity is about 2.5 MWp. Today, most of PV manufacturers have to buy wafers from outside to keep the manufacturing going on.

In 1982, the price of solar module was as high as 70 Yuan/Wp (about $20 USD/Wp). Limited by manufacturing capacity and the so high prices, PV market was very hard to be developed. Besides space use, solar cells were only used as small power supplies in special fields, like: beacons, light houses, railway and highway signal systems, power supply for the equipment in mountain weather stations, electric fence, insects trapper lights, DC powered fluorescent lights, etc.. The power range for such system is between several watts to tens of watts. At the same period, some projects of international cooperation were carried out , like: New Energy Village in Daxing county, Beijing, which was cooperated with AEG Telephonken, Germany and a 10 kWp PV Power Plant in Yuanzi township, Gansu province, which was built by KYOCERA, Japan. about 40 Yuan/Wp. Since then, PV market is expanded very quickly. Now, solar cells are used not only for small power systems but also distributed into various fields: communications, transportation, rural electrification, industry and agriculture, commodities, etc.. In addition, solar cell has been introduced into national important engineering. Such as: Electrification Project for the Counties Without Electricity sponsored by Ministry of Electric Power; Tibet Sunshine Project; Communication Project for Fire Warning System; Xi-Lan-Wu and Bei-Hu-Yin-Lan Optical-fiber Communication Engineering, 400 Satellite TV Receiver & Transmitter Stations in Tibet; Xinjiang Oil Pipeline Engineering (include communications and catholic protections for pipeline), and so on. Since 1993, the annual production of solar modules is near or higher 1 MWp. By the end of 1995, the total installed PV power in China has been more than 6 MWp.

  • Can Brazil Replicate China's Successful Solar Industry?
    Can Brazil replicate China’s successful solar industry? He Nuoshu and Fabio Couto Jr. A solar power station in Xuzhou, Jiangsu province, southeast China (Image: Zhiyong Fu / Greenpeace) China’s booming solar market offers many lessons for other emerging economies This report examines the shared experiences of China and Brazil in both nations’ efforts to develop domestic solar industries. The report, which synthesises two articles and includes policy recommendations borrowed from the Chinese experience, first appeared on Diálogo Chino and is published in partnership with Instituto Clima e Sociedade (ICS). History China’s solar power sector started to boom in recent years – not only in manufacturing, but also in domestic installations – thanks to strong government backing and a favourable policy environment. The rate of growth has stunned the world, as has the falling cost, beating expectations even of industry insiders. By the end of 2015, China had 43 gigawatts of installed solar power, and had overtaken Germany, another country that saw strong industrial policy supporting solar power, as the global leader. Last year, eight of the top-10 solar PV module manufacturers were Chinese. But the history is a longer one. The Chinese government has supported research and development (R&D) on solar PV since the 1950s, mainly for its uses in space. A PV module manufacturing industry developed during the 1990s. It remained small and of variable quality but became a crucial part of providing energy access to remote communities. The Brightness Programme, launched in 1996, was the first national policy to bring electricity access to off-grid areas of western China using renewable energy.

  • LCOE Analysis of Tower Concentrating Solar Power Plants Using Different Molten-Salts for Thermal Energy Storage in China
    energies Article LCOE Analysis of Tower Concentrating Solar Power Plants Using Different Molten-Salts for Thermal Energy Storage in China Xiaoru Zhuang, Xinhai Xu * , Wenrui Liu and Wenfu Xu School of Mechanical Engineering and Automation, Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen 518055, China; [email protected] (X.Z.); [email protected] (W.L.); [email protected] (W.X.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 11 March 2019; Accepted: 8 April 2019; Published: 11 April 2019 Abstract: In recent years, the Chinese government has vigorously promoted the development of concentrating solar power (CSP) technology. For the commercialization of CSP technology, economically competitive costs of electricity generation is one of the major obstacles. However, studies of electricity generation cost analysis for CSP systems in China, particularly for the tower systems, are quite limited. This paper conducts an economic analysis by applying a levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) model for 100 MW tower CSP plants in five locations in China with four different molten-salts for thermal energy storage (TES). The results show that it is inappropriate to build a tower CSP plant nearby Shenzhen and Shanghai. The solar salt (NaNO3-KNO3, 60-40 wt.%) has lower LCOE than the other three new molten-salts. In order to calculate the time when the grid parity would be reached, four scenarios for CSP development roadmap proposed by International Energy Agency (IEA) were considered in this study. It was found that the LCOE of tower CSP would reach the grid parity in the years of 2038–2041 in the case of no future penalties for the CO2 emissions.

  • Policy and Market Drivers for Advancing Clean Energy
    Policy and market drivers for advancing clean energy Chapter submission for edited book “Advances in Clean Energy Technologies” Steven Dahlke1 John Sterling2 Colin Meehan2 Working draft, last updated 10/8/2019 Abstract This chapter reviews important policies and market trends shaping the global development of clean energy technologies. Stimulus policies in the form of feed-in tariffs, tax relief, and renewable portfolio standards along with substantial research & development enabled clean energy projects to overcome early commercialization barriers. As a result, clean energy project costs are now competitive with or lower than conventional fossil fuels in most markets around the world. Policymakers and energy consumers are responding by increasing clean energy targets to high levels approaching 100% in a growing number of jurisdictions. Business models are adapting to this new environment and energy market structures are evolving to enable successful operations of high renewable energy systems. Markets structures, policies, and technologies that enhance system flexibility for efficient renewable energy integration represent the most promising future area of research in this field. Keywords: energy policy, energy economics, clean energy, renewable energy, wind, solar. 1 US Department of Energy Solar Energy Innovator Research Fellow 2 First Solar 1 1. Introduction Clean energy technologies have advanced at a remarkable pace in recent decades. Despite significant progress, an acceleration is desired by many to address today’s multi-dimensional global challenges including climate change mitigation, poverty reduction, ecological degradation, economic growth, and national security [1]. The policy environment and market design surrounding clean energy have been among the most important factors determining where early-stage clean energy technologies are deployed.
