Distributed photovoltaic (PV) power stations refer to power generation systems that distribute multiple small PV power stations across different locations. Compared to traditional large-scale centralized PV power stations, distributed PV power stations have the following characteristics:
Flexible layout: Distributed photovoltaic power stations can be flexibly arranged in various spatial environments according to geographical conditions and electricity demand, including rooftops, parking lots, industrial land, etc.
Easy access: Since distributed photovoltaic power stations are usually close to the electrical load, the power transmission distance is short, which reduces transmission losses and line construction costs, and improves the efficiency of power utilization.
It has local power supply capability: Distributed photovoltaic power stations can directly provide power to nearby users, reducing dependence on the traditional power grid and improving power supply reliability.
System stability: Since distributed photovoltaic power stations consist of multiple small photovoltaic power stations that operate independently and do not affect each other, the failure of one power generation device will not have a significant impact on the entire power station, thus improving the stability and reliability of the system.
Renewable energy utilization: Distributed photovoltaic power stations generate electricity using solar photovoltaic technology, which is a clean energy source, environmentally friendly, and can reduce dependence on traditional energy sources.
Promoting Energy Transition: The promotion and application of distributed photovoltaic power stations can promote the transformation of the energy structure, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and achieve sustainable development.
The construction and operation of distributed photovoltaic (PV) power plants rely on appropriate technology, management, and policy support. At the policy level, relevant government departments can introduce policies and subsidies to encourage the development of distributed PV power plants; at the technology level, suitable PV modules, inverters, battery storage, and intelligent monitoring technologies for distributed systems are needed; at the management level, a sound operation and maintenance mechanism and monitoring system need to be established to ensure the normal operation and maintenance of the power plants.
