On the afternoon of June 16, the world's largest building-integrated photovoltaic project in Ningbo Hangzhou Bay New Area was launched. The generation project of 55 MW of distributed photovoltaic power was invested by Shanghai Automotive Asset Management Co., Ltd., the first phase of which has a total installed capacity of 20 megawatts. It is expected to join the national power grid in the end of the year.
Photovoltaic power generation project will take the parking garage of Shanghai Volkswagen Ningbo Branch and its staff parking garage as the distributed photovoltaic power plant integrated by carport. After the completion it will be five times the current Guinness world record holder - Nanjing Volkswagen PV volume building integration projects, to become the world's largest BIPV project.
Photovoltaic power generation project uses the adjustably-structured photovoltaic carport which would choose the best light-receiving spot according to the Earth rotation angle, boosting 10% of the power generation efficiency. Besides, with the best use of internet technology in monitoring, operation and maintenance systems, each power module can be displayed on the mobile phone monitoring platform and installed simultaneously with the appropriate terminal APP, so that the best mode of design, operation and maintenance could be found through data analysis.
It is reported that after the completion of the project, more than 50 million degrees of green power could be generated per year, with the annual saving of 15,000 tons of standard coal and emission reduction of 50,000 tons of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. At the same time, the carport could accommodate over 20,000 vehicles. The carport rolls power generating, rain sheltering and hail proofing into one.
The project is a typical case of “space for land”, which reflects the government intention to promote the comprehensive development of land resources. It is learned that the New Area will put more efforts into building similar demonstration projects, directing enterprises to make better use to the underground and aboveground space, so that the comprehensive benefits of unit land could be enhanced. We should accelerate the implementation of some comprehensive underground space development projects including utility tunnel, underground parking, and underground transportation, in the vision of building smart city and low-carbon city. We should overcome the “urban diseases” for sustainable district developmen
