320,000 households realize green energy supply: the world’s largest solar thermal + photovoltaic integrated power station was successfully connected to the grid for the first time

News from this site on December 25, according to @国产小新News, recently, the trough-type Unit 3 of the Dubai 950 MW photovoltaic and thermal hybrid power station project constructed by China Energy Engineering Hunan Thermal Power was successfully connected to the grid for the first time, is the world’s largest solar thermal photovoltaic integrated power station project.

The project is located in the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Covers a total area of ​​44 square kilometers and is the world’s largest solar thermal photovoltaic integrated power station project, adopts "one tower and three slots photovoltaic" solar power generation combination.

Currently, the tower type and trough type CSP units No. 1 and No. 2 have been connected to the grid and reached full capacity, with a total installed capacity of 500MW.

After the project is completed,

can provide green energy to 320,000 households and can reduce carbon emissions by 1.6 million tons per year. It is an important part of Dubai's 2050 energy strategy.

This site notes that the combination of photothermal power generation and photovoltaic power generation can achieve a more balanced and sustainable power output, thereby maximizing Power generation throughout the day

Basic principle of photovoltaic power generation: Solar cell is a semiconductor material containing a P-N junction. The P-N junction can absorb sunlight and establish an electric field internally. When on both sides of the electric field When a certain load is connected, current will be generated on the load.

Basic principle of photothermal power generation: Concentrate sunlight to the solar collection device through a reflector, use solar energy to heat the heat transfer medium (liquid or gas) in the collection device, and then add water to form The steam drives or directly drives a generator to generate electricity.

The above is the detailed content of 320,000 households realize green energy supply: the world’s largest solar thermal + photovoltaic integrated power station was successfully connected to the grid for the first time.
