In this chapter of the project a description of the main components forming a large-scale PV solar power plant is done. The elements described below are going to be considered during the calculations used for the system design. The components described are: PV modules, inverters, transformers, switchgears and AC and DC cables.
For large-scale PV power plants, the availability of water is an important factor. Large amounts of water are necessary for maintenance purposes (cleaning). Therefore, the system should be installed preferably near a water source. The availability of water is not a problem for the site selected because it is surrounded by different rivers.
One of the primary benefits of building larger solar power plants is the lower cost per unit of energy produced. This is because larger plants can take advantage of economies of scale, which means that the cost per unit of energy produced decreases as the size of the plant increases.
The only component considered in the design which has to be replaced during the operational lifetime of the PV solar power plant are the inverters. According to inverter’s manufacturers the operational lifetime of central inverters can be 20 years or even more, but on field tests reveal that the real lifetime is in the range of 10-20 years .
Photovoltaic solar power plants are nowadays the technology most extended regarding renewable energy generation and since 2016 PV solar energy is the technology with higher growth . The main factor driving the rapid growth of the PV solar capacity is mainly economic, PV solar power plants have reduced their associated cost by 70% .
Based on the results of this study, it was carefully estimated the water saving potential of large-scale PV generation to replace the existing power supply, paving the way for a gradual replacement of current power generation in China.
