The performance of the proposed method is assessed in the service area of an Ecuadorian power utility. Scenarios considering solar potential and the massive penetration of a new type of load are assessed to define the photovoltaic sites that enhance the integration of renewable sources in the case study.
By combining the above results and setting the solar radiation parameters and PV system efficiency, we can obtain the spatial distribution of the rooftop PV power generation potential in rural areas. This method is applied in northern China on a village and a town scale, and the overall accuracy of the revised U-Net model can reach over 92%.
The United States conducted much early research in photovoltaics and concentrated solar power and is among the top countries in the world in deploying the technology, being home to 4 of the 10 largest utility-scale photovoltaic power stations in the world as of 2017.
The World Bank has published the study Global Photovoltaic Power Potential by Country, which provides an aggregated and harmonized view on solar resource and the potential for development of utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) power plants from the perspective of countries and regions.
As for the technical potential, the PV module’s conversion efficiency and the performance ratio (PR) are widely used to evaluate the PV system. The progress in photovoltaics updated the highest confirmed efficiency of the crystalline silicon cells, which can now reach 26.7% under the global 1000 W/m2 at 25 °C.
The proposed method was applied at both the village and town levels in northern China. If the PI method was adopted, the average annual solar PV generation potential would be 36.2 MWh per household and 10 GWh per village, and the values would be 26.5 MWh and 7.3 GWh under the OTI method, respectively.
