htmlOn August 3, Tengger Desert in Zhongwei City, Ningxia, the largest solar photovoltaic power generation base in the desert in the northwest region. Photo/IC photoRecently, the photovoltaic composite project of the Tengger Desert 3GW new energy base in Yingshuiqiao Town, Shapotou District, Zhongwei City, Ningxia was officially started. This is a key supporting project of the "Ningdian Entering Hunan" project. According to Ningxia Daily , this is the largest desert photovoltaic base in my country, and the "Ningdian Entering Hunan" project is the first ultra-high voltage transmission channel in my country that mainly develops a large desert photovoltaic base and transports new energy.
htmlOn July 27, Li Chuangjun, Director of the New Energy and Renewable Energy Department of the National Energy Administration, said at a press conference of the State Information Office that the construction of large-scale wind power photovoltaic bases in deserts, Gobi and desert areas is an important measure to support the realization of the dual-carbon goal as scheduled, promote the transformation of energy clean and low-carbon, improve energy security and supply capabilities, expand investment and stabilize growth, and is the top priority of the development of new energy in the "14th Five-Year Plan" period." West-to-East Power Transmission " gradually shifts to new energy
It is reported that the total installed capacity of the photovoltaic composite project of the 3GW new energy base in the Tengger Desert that was started recently was 3 million kilowatts, with a total investment of 15.25 billion yuan, and the total investment of the first 1 million kilowatt photovoltaic project is about 5.114 billion yuan. A month ago, in Hengyang, Hunan, where the end of the "Ningdian Enters Hunan" project, the construction of Hengyang West 500 kV substation project, one of the supporting projects, was officially started. Hengyang West 500 kV Transmission and Transformation Project covers an area of 101.3 mu and is scheduled to be put into operation in June 2023.
The successive start of these projects is speeding up the "Ningdian into Hunan" project. It is understood that the "Ningdian into Hunan" project will pass through five provinces (regions) and one city in Ningxia, Gansu, Shaanxi, Chongqing, Hubei and Hunan, with a total length of 1,467 kilometers. The project investment scale is about 100 billion yuan, with an annual power transmission of 40 billion kWh to 44 billion kWh. After it is put into production at the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan, the "Ningdian Entering Hunan" project can increase the electricity of Hunan by 1/6.
"Ninghua Power Transportation into Hunan" project is part of the "West-to-East Transportation" project launched by my country in 2001. The original intention of "West-to-East Power Transmission" is that my country's coal resources are mainly distributed in the western and northern regions, while hydropower resources are mainly concentrated in the southwest regions. "West-to-East Power Transmission" means converting the energy of western provinces and regions with abundant coal and hydropower resources into electricity resources and transmitting it to the eastern coastal areas of , which are short of electricity.
htmlFor more than 120 years, this major project has transformed the energy advantages of the western region into economic advantages, which is of great significance to rationally allocate resources, optimize the energy structure, and promote the sustainable development of my country's social and economic development. With the advent of the new energy era, the technological and intelligent degree of "West-to-East Power Transmission" technology is constantly increasing, especially the proportion of clean energy such as wind power and photovoltaics is constantly increasing, and will gradually become the mainstream method.According to Hunan Daily , in addition to supporting the construction of 4 million kilowatts of coal-fired power at the delivery end of the "Ningdian Entering Hunan" project, the main supporting construction of 13 million kilowatts of new energy, including 6 million kilowatts of Zhongwei Desert Photovoltaic, 6 million kilowatts of Hongsibao Gobi Photovoltaic 3 million kilowatts and Zhongwei Haiyuan and other wind power. It can be seen that among the supporting facilities of the "Ningdian into Hunan" project, desert photovoltaics, Gobi photovoltaics, wind power and other new energy sources account for more than 76%. The Ningxia Autonomous Region where the photovoltaic composite project of the 3GW new energy base of Tengger Desert is located is a typical "small provinces and regions, strong power grids, and large delivery ends". Here, there are rich wind and light resources, and it is a national solar energy resource category I and wind energy resource category III. The photovoltaic power generation technology can be developed by about 454 million kilowatts.
"Ningdian Entering Hunan" project, as a strategic and innovative planning project in my country, may change my country's energy structure.
New energy new track
"Dual carbon" has become the climate target of many countries around the world. It has become a global consensus to develop renewable energy, including photovoltaics, and photovoltaic power generation has become the most competitive form of power supply in more and more countries. According to statistics from the of the China Photovoltaic Industry Association, the global photovoltaic new installed capacity in 2021 was 170GW, a year-on-year, setting a record high; among them, my country's new installed capacity in 2021 was 54.88GWH, a year-on-year increase of 13.9%.
Desert wind power photovoltaics is becoming a new track in my country's new energy industry.BYD Chairman and President Wang ChuanfuHang said in a program: "As long as 1% of the desert is covered with solar panels, the country's power generation will be enough." Musk of Tesla also holds the same idea. In 2019, Musk expressed his opinion that converting the 10,000 square miles of US desert into solar power plant can meet the electricity demand across the United States.
my country's advantages are more obvious. Up to now, the total area of deserts in my country is about 700,000 square kilometers. Together with the barren Gobi Desert of more than 500,000 square kilometers, the area of "desert" in a broad sense can reach 1.28 million square kilometers. According to the photoelectric conversion efficiency of 14% of the existing solar panels, covering 1% of the desert into solar power plants can provide an additional 7.008 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity to my country each year, which is approximately equivalent to 84% of my country's electricity consumption in 2021.
Although this is just the theoretical power generation, the imagination space for desert wind power photovoltaics is large enough.
In the past two years, favorable policies related to desert wind power photovoltaics have been frequently released. According to incomplete statistics, in 2021, relevant national ministries and commissions made nine statements to support the construction of large-scale photovoltaic and wind power bases in deserts, Gobi and deserts, and have announced that two batches of bases will start construction. In the eight months from the beginning of 2022 to the present, relevant ministries and commissions have issued more than 40 favorable policies, with an average of nearly 6 items per month. Desert (Gobi, desert) wind power and photovoltaics usher in unprecedented development momentum.
Obviously, with desert wind power photovoltaics as the incision, our country is embarking on a new journey of new energy.
Hu Zucai, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at a press conference on May 12 that we should vigorously develop new energy and plan to build a large wind power photovoltaic base of 450 million kilowatts in deserts, Gobi and desert areas. On September 2, National Energy Administration revealed that the first batch of large-scale wind power photovoltaic bases with focus on deserts, Gobi and desert areas have all started construction, some of the second batch of base projects have started construction, and the third batch of base projects are speeding up the organization and carrying out relevant work.
It is reported that the second batch of projects are mainly distributed in the main areas of deserts, Gobi and deserts such as Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Xinjiang, Qinghai, Gansu. The relevant departments even stated that the construction of wind power photovoltaic bases with focus on deserts, Gobi and desert areas should be scheduled weekly and monitored monthly, and relevant provinces should be urged to accelerate the promotion of projects that can be opened as much as possible. At the same time, a "green channel" for the approval of large-scale wind power photovoltaic base projects to ensure that large base projects "can be opened as much as possible".

In fact, in the field of photovoltaics, my country is behind. From the processing and manufacturing of traditional photovoltaic power generation equipment to the development of single crystal silicon technology by relying on scientific and technological innovation, my country has formed a complete photovoltaic power generation industry chain. In less than 20 years, my country has gone from a backward country in the photovoltaic power generation industry to a leader in the photovoltaic power generation industry. However, my country will not be satisfied with becoming a simple equipment manufacturer in the field of photovoltaic power generation.
Construction of a large-scale photovoltaic power generation industry base in the desert Gobi area is a strategic choice for the development of my country's new energy industry, and it is also an effective way for my country to use its photovoltaic technology advantages to empower the new energy industry and change the energy structure. More importantly, this will drive regional economic development.
It is reported that after the completion of the photovoltaic composite project of the 3GW new energy base in the Tengger Desert, the annual power generation will reach about 5.78 billion kilowatt-hours, achieve operating income of 1.5 billion yuan, provide 1,500 jobs, and save 1.92 million tons of standard coal every year. According to estimates, the "Ningdian Enters Hunan" project will drive Ningxia's upstream and downstream manufacturing industry to invest 100 billion yuan, new energy power generation to invest 100 billion yuan, and power grid supporting facilities to invest 100 billion yuan.
Clean energy is one of the nine industries currently focused on developing in Ningxia. According to the local "14th Five-Year Plan" plan, the scale of new energy will double to more than 50 million kilowatts.As of the end of 2021, the installed capacity of new energy in Ningxia reached 28.39 million kilowatts, accounting for 46% of the total installed capacity of the region, and the power generation reached 46.4 billion kilometers, accounting for 23.3% of the total power generation in the region. For every 4 kilowatt-hour of electricity used by the people of Ningxia, 1 kilowatt-hour comes from new energy.
According to the energy cooperation memorandum signed by Ningxia and Hunan on February 20, the two sides will jointly promote the construction of "one line, one park, one base".
"First Line" is the Ningxia-Hunan UHV DC Transmission Project, "One Park" is the New Energy Equipment Manufacturing and Photovoltaic Industry Demonstration Park, and "One Base" is the construction of Hunan's new energy and supporting energy industry base in Ningxia, forming a large-scale and complete upstream and downstream supporting "wind, light and storage" clean energy and new energy equipment industry chain.
In the " three-horse " that drives the economy, Ningxia's foreign trade scale is small and consumption growth is slow. Cultivating new industries with new energy can help Ningxia exchange new development and enhance new advantages.
At present, the "One Park and One Base" located in Hongsibao District, Wuzhong City, Ningxia has signed contracts with Hunan enterprises such as Xiangtou Holdings , Wuling Electric Power , CRRC, etc. The total investment of the project is 19.1 billion yuan, of which 7 billion yuan of manufacturing projects is invested, with an estimated output value of more than 30 billion yuan, and 5,000 new jobs and 2.3 billion yuan in taxes.
In addition to economic development, desert wind power photovoltaic industry can also become the third sand control model after afforestation and sand barriers to sand pressure.
is located in the Kubuqi Desert , which is known as the seventh largest desert in my country. There is a "world's largest photovoltaic panel graphic power station" certified by Guinness World Records - Junma Power Station. This power station has outputted 32.312 billion kWh of green electricity, which is equivalent to saving 3.76 million tons of standard coal, and reducing 1.85 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions. At the same time, the project adopts the "forest and light complementary" model, power generation on the board and planting under the board, and has promoted desert ecological governance to control a total of 16,000 mu of desert.
The area with the best lighting resources in my country, except Tibet, is located in the " Three Norths " area. In particular, the northwest region is the main area where deserts, Gobi and deserts are distributed in my country. Among the nine clean energy bases during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period announced by the state, the four clean energy bases of Xinjiang, the upper reaches of the Yellow River, the Hexi Corridor, and the Yellow River Jiziwan all contain a large amount of desert, Gobi and desertified land. These regions have relatively slow economic development and are under great ecological pressure.
undoubtedly, the introduction of desert wind power photovoltaic industry is becoming a new path for development in these regions.
