Customer ServiceAs far away from load demand center, the power grid construction is relatively weak in those areas. When the large-scale photovoltaic power stations are put into operation together, solar energy rejection will occur as not all the power can be transmitted due to the limitations of the transmission lines in the local area.
External factors such as declines in the price of natural gas, the energy source solar was intended to replace in the city, have also contributed to the unprofitability of the plant, with consumers more likely to purchase power from natural gas sources, rather than the solar plant.
Table 13 shows the simulations results of the solar energy curtailment in 2020 based on the data of 2015 due to the limitations of the peak shaving units and transmission capacity. As shown in Table 13, the insufficient of peak shaving is the primary reason for the problem of solar energy curtailment, and it will become more and more serious.
