What is the climate of a solar PV station in China?

Introduction

Do solar PV stations have a fire risk assessment framework?

Since solar photovoltaic (PV) stations are experiencing rapid growth, their potential fire risk needs to be studied as a priority to avoid catastrophic consequences. This study developed a temperature-dependent fire risk assessment framework and applied it to a typical solar PV station.

How does STS support solar & storage development in Asia?

STS supports solar and storage developers’ procurement efforts in Asia through supplier assessment & qualification, inspection and quality control, and technical advisory services.

What is the climate of a solar PV station in China?

This study analyzed a solar PV station in Anhui Province, China, as shown in Fig. 4. The total installed capacity of the analyzed solar PV station is 50 MW. Its climate belongs to the north subtropical monsoon climate, which is characterized by hot summer and mild winter. The highest temperature is about 40 °C, and the lowest is about −10 °C.

How to calculate fire risk of a solar PV station?

To overcome the challenges of lacking probabilities and subjective judgment, the overall fire risk of a solar PV station was calculated by combining fault tree analysis, Cloud-Analytic Hierarchy Process and Weighted Average Cloud Aggregation algorithms.

How often do solar PV station fires occur?

The latter study obtained the frequency of an annual fire incident on rooftops with solar PV systems as 0.0289 fires per MW . Due to the lacked frameworks, undertaking the risk assessment of solar PV station fire accidents is still challenging.

Do solar PV stations have a fire risk?

Those fire accidents have caused severe losses of assets and threatened human beings and the environment, acting as a barrier to its further practical implementation. The fire risk of solar PV stations should be investigated urgently because relevant fire accidents could usually cause severe consequences.
