Study of China''s Optimal Concentrated Solar Power Development
Management School, Tianjin Normal University, Tianjin, China As an important form of clean energy generation that provides continuous and stable power generation and is grid-friendly,
Solar energy is used for power generation in two main ways: photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) (Desideri and Campana, 2014). At present, PV technology in China has become mature after decades of development.
Planned solar capacity projects will likely lead to continued growth in China's solar capacity. More than 720 GW of solar capacity are in development: about 250 GW under construction, nearly 300 GW in pre-construction phases, and 177 GW of announced projects, according to the Global Solar Power Tracker compiled by Global Energy Monitor.
growth and success in the solar photovoltaic power generation market. As the world's largest energy consumer, China's commitment to renewable energy and its pursuit of a more sustainable energy future have positioned it as a global leader in solar photovoltaic power generation, playing a crucial role in the f
Initially, China prioritized wind power for renewable energy development due to its well-established technology. However, the Key Points of New Energy and Renewable Energy Industry Development Planning 2000–2015, published in 2000, marked the beginning of China's interest in solar photovoltaic technology .
