Solar thermal electric power generation will welcome development opportunity

     Global photo-thermal power generation has accelerated since 2008. According to the latest statistics, by the end of 2014, the total installed capacity of global photo-thermal power generation reached 4533 MW. The photo-thermal power generation is one of the most ‘profit potential’technology. According to the uniqueness of the renewable energy itself, in our country, promote the traditional energy transformation and vigorously improve the use of renewable energy, thermal power generation is indispensable.

Photovoltaic power generation and photo-thermal power generation are two important ways of solar energy utilization. Unlike photovoltaic power generation which convert solar energy directly into electricity, photo-thermal power generation is a combination of ‘electric and heat’, it can not only convert solar energy into electric energy, but also apply its heat energy produced in the high temperature field.

    Hu Runqing from energy research institute of National Development and Reform Commission previously said, photo-thermal power generation industry chain has been initially formed in our country, and can provide some products and components. Some foreign companies also began to enter the Chinese market. The country should give further policy support to lay a good foundation for accelerating the commercialization of photo-thermal power generation.

    Photo-thermal power generation technology in China is blooming. Photo-thermal power generation demonstration project is going to be finalized. As an important way of energy revolution in the future, photo-thermal power generation, it is soon to be the new energy investment in the future.
