The world's first ultra-high-altitude photovoltaic demonstration base is connected to the grid in Sichuan

The world's first ultra-high-altitude photovoltaic demonstration base project, the first batch of power generation units of the Xingchuan demonstration photovoltaic power station of the State Power Investment Group, was connected to the grid in Kardze, Sichuan on the 14th, marking the official operation and application
of the base.

As a major project of clean energy development in Sichuan Province, Xingchuan Empirical Photovoltaic Power Station is located in Township and County, Kardzezhou, Sichuan Province, with a total installed capacity of 600,000 kilowatts, a total area of about 13,650 mu, and a total investment of about 3.
2 billion yuan
.
After the full capacity is connected to the grid, the average annual power generation is 1.
268 billion kWh, which can save about 390,000 tons of standard coal and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 1.
07 million tons per year, which will further optimize the energy structure of Sichuan Province and help Sichuan Province balance
energy supply and demand under extreme weather and emergencies.

It is understood that after the Xingchuan empirical photovoltaic power station is put into operation, it will fill the gap
of China's photovoltaic demonstration base in ultra-high altitude and mid-latitude areas.
With the power station as the carrier, a number of industry innovations will be applied
.
Different from traditional photovoltaic power stations, Xingchuan empirical photovoltaic power station is set up with photovoltaic modules, inverters, brackets, energy storage devices, and comprehensive comparison 5 empirical test areas, and adopts 127 comparison schemes to carry out empirical experiments
on photovoltaics, energy storage products and new technologies.

The photovoltaic power station also applies the emerging digital technology of "cloud big things to move intelligence" to implement digital systems such as intelligent construction management, digital twin production and operation and maintenance management of photovoltaic power plants, and intelligent diagnosis of inverters, which can realize remote centralized control to achieve the goal of
"unattended".

It is worth mentioning that during the implementation of the Xingchuan photovoltaic empirical power station project, it adheres to both development and protection, combines surface vegetation and the original utilization mode of the plot, creates a photovoltaic ecosystem integrating "power generation, water collection, water storage, irrigation and planting", and cooperates with the planting of high-quality forage varieties suitable for high-altitude growth, so as to achieve a "win-win"
situation between ecological protection and project development.
