In this study, observational data from a photovoltaic (PV) power plant in the mid-latitude Gobi region were investigated. The energy balance and microclimate differences between the PV site and reference (REF) site during different seasons were analysed.
This intense dryness, as well as the abundant sunlight of more than 3,000 hours a year, make the Gobi Desert an excellent environment for large-scale solar power generation. The incredible solar-thermal power station reportedly features two 656-feet-high (200 meters) towers, each surrounded by a vast field of 27,000 mirrors known as heliostats.
This Gobi Desert plant represents a major engineering and technological achievement, combining innovative design, energy storage, and efficiency improvements. It shows how solar thermal power can complement other forms of renewable energy and play a crucial role in providing continuous electricity.
It receives an average of two to eight inches of annual precipitation, with some areas receiving less than two inches per year. This intense dryness, as well as the abundant sunlight of more than 3,000 hours a year, make the Gobi Desert an excellent environment for large-scale solar power generation.
