“…The total solar electricity generation was 25 TWh in 2014, accounting for about 0.45% of China's total electricity consumption in the same year [3]. The share of solar energy in total generation is still small, however, the rapid growth and expanding installation of solar power has increasingly posed a real challenge for the grid [4,5].…”

TitleWhere, when and how much solar is available? A provincial-scale solar resource assessment for China China's ambitious solar energy development goal will be greatly facilitated by the resources assessment at higher spatial and temporal resolution. We utilized 10-year hourly solar irradiation data from 2001 to 2010 from 200 representative locations to develop provincial solar availability profiles. We found that China has a potential stationary solar capacity from 4700 GW to 39300 GW, distributed solar about 200 GW, and the annual solar output could reach 6900 TWh to 70100 TWh. Resources are most concentrated in northwest provinces, topped by Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and Gansu. The challenge of solar development in China is integration rather than resources. The spatial and temporal variation of the solar resource show an efficient, robust, and interconnected national grid and sound energy planning would be necessary to facilitate the integration of these vastly available but variable solar resources.

Abstract-This paper presents a case study about the practice of using professional simulation and experimental tests in the undergraduate and graduate students' education and training. A real renewable energy system including PV modules, boost converter using maximum power tracking (MPPT) method and batteries as energy storages was built up. Simulation tools including Matlab and PSIM are used for PV modelling, MPPT strategies evaluation. The use of simulation in lecture, tutorial and laboratory exercises will help students understand fully the operating principle of the electrical circuits. This real prototype will help students appreciate the benefits of various MPPT methods in a short period time. Results from the students' performance in simulation and laboratory are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

“…PV electricity was identified as the prior renewable energy source to resolve power supply issues in remote rural areas and enhance the utilization of renewable energy in urban areas. The REL set a national target for renewable energy development, and mandated grid companies to purchase all renewable electricity at a price higher than coal-fired electricity; in addition, a specific fund was established to provide additional financial support for renewable energy development, including R&D, pilot projects, rural utilization of renewables, and standard setting and assessment [90].…”

“…Subsequently, the subsidy of the Golden sun program was adjusted in 2010 so that installation subsidy for BIPV was reduced to 17 RMB/Wp and 13 RMB/Wp for BAPV systems. for renewable energy development, and mandated grid companies to purchase all renewable electricity at a price higher than coal-fired electricity; in addition, a specific fund was established to provide additional financial support for renewable energy development, including R&D, pilot projects, rural utilization of renewables, and standard setting and assessment [90]. In order to implement the national strategy of "energy-saving", the Chinese government strengthened support for PV development.…”

Abstract:Installing sustainable and renewable energy systems is a promising way of relieving Hong Kong's dependence on imported fossil fuels. Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology is a perfect solution for Hong Kong as it fits the economic and geographic situation. Through a review of the PV development history of five leading PV countries, Germany, Japan, Italy, Mainland China, and the USA, this paper serves as a useful policy toolbox to aid PV development. Based on the forerunners' successful PV industry experiences and Hong Kong's unique local situations, a series of incentive strategies were proposed for Hong Kong to help promote the utilization of solar PV systems by reducing the initial investment and providing reasonable subsidies at the initial stages and during the operation period of the PV systems. These results could be a practical reference for promoting renewable energy applications for local policy-makers.
