Under the framework of the global carbon neutrality strategy, the “Light of the New Silk Road” large – scale photovoltaic power station project, as the core project of the “The Belt and Road Initiative” green energy corridor, is reshaping the new energy pattern of the Eurasian continent. It adopts the industry – leading 540WP(WP? TOCON) high – efficiency single product silicon capacity, with a conversion efficiency of over 22.3%. The total installed capacity of the project is 2.2GW, equivalent to the power generation capacity of three standard coal – fired power plants. The project uses more than 10,000 sets of Huawei SUN2000 – 110KTL – HV intelligent string inverters. The product is equipped with an 800V high – voltage full – voltage platform, which can effectively solve the intangible problem of renewable energy. After the project is completed, the annual power generation is expected to be about 3.3TWh (calculated based on 1,700 hours of annual utilization), which can meet the annual electricity demand of 2 million households, equivalent to replacing 1.2 million tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions 3.2 million tons per year (calculated based on the IPCC global average emission factor of 0.954KG/KWH). The environmental benefits are equivalent to reforesting 97,000 hectares of forest. This project is a new energy project with the largest investment scale, the highest technology content and the widest coverage in Central Asia. The electricity generated by the project will be transmitted to many Central Asian countries through 800KV ultra – high voltage DC lines, and the annual cross – border power transmission is expected to reach 2.5TWh.

             In terms of technological innovation, the “Light of the New Silk Road” project has achieved a number of industry breakthroughs. The project uses a 1500V DC high – voltage system, which can reduce the loss of power transmission by about 3% compared with the 1000V system. The supporting energy storage system uses the latest generation of 314Ah large – capacity batteries, with a cycle life of more than 8,000 times and a system efficiency of over 92%. In terms of operation and maintenance, a drone inspection + AI diagnosis system is deployed to achieve component – level fault identification and improve operation and maintenance efficiency by 40%. It is particularly noteworthy that the project innovatively applies the “photovoltaic and control” model, planting salt – resistant crops outside the power station to form an ecological barrier, increasing the vegetation coverage rate in the project area from less than 10% to 35%, effectively reducing the operating temperature of components by 5 – 8°C and directly increasing power generation efficiency by 3 – 5%. The project also reserves an interface for hydrogen production by electrolysis of water, laying the foundation for the future development of the green hydrogen industry. It is expected that the second phase of the project will expand the electrolysis capacity by 500MW and produce 70,000 tons of green hydrogen annually.

              From the perspective of economic and social benefits, the strategic value of the “Light of the New Silk Road” project far exceeds that of the energy sector. During the construction of the project, 3,500 jobs will be directly created, driving the local GDP growth by 2.3 percentage points. During the operation period, the project will earn about US$150 million in foreign exchange each year through electricity exports (calculated at US$0.06/KWH). The “Build – operate – transfer” model adopted by the project will train 500 new energy professional and technical personnel for countries along the route in 3 years, and environmental benefits, in addition to reducing carbon dioxide emissions, the project can also reduce dust storms along the route by 20,000 tons and increase rainfall by 15,000 tons each year, significantly improving the regional ecological environment. At present, the project has been included in the “Green Investment Principles” project library of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and has been selected as a typical case of the “Five Small Nations” Projects along the Belt and Road. In the next three years, the company plans to use this as a model to replicate and promote similar projects in countries along the route. It is expected that the total installed capacity will exceed 10GW, and the annual carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced by 15 million tons, truly building a green energy corridor across Europe and Asia, and contributing to the realization of the global carbon neutrality goal. China’s solution.
