Effect of Large Photovoltaic Power Station on Microclimate of Desert Region in Gonghe Basin
[Objective] The effect of large photovoltaic(PV) power station on micro-climate of desert region in Gonghe Basin was evaluated via comparing basic meteorological factors to reveal the difference of microclimate both inside and outside of the photovoltaic power station.[Methods] Based on the meteorological data measured by automatic meteorological station
the impact of large PV power stations on microclimate of desert region in Gonghe Basin was evaluated by comparing the basic meteorological elements
including air temperature
relative humidity(RH)
wind speed and direction
solar radiation
and soil temperature and water content of control point and monitoring points.[Results] The RH increased by 3.93% in desert region of Gonghe Basin due to the effect of large PV power station
which was more evident in drier day and during nighttime. The prevailing wind direction shifted from northeast to east after PV power station was established
and PV power station made local wind direction more single. As for wind speed
the frequency of high wind was significantly decreased after PV power station was established
and the wind speed reduced by 53.92% in desert region of Gonghe Basin due to the effect of large PV power station. The large PV power station made mean soil temperature reduced by 17.20%
16.75% and 16.09% at the depth of 10
20
40 cm
and the impact for shallow soil layer was more significant than that for deep soil layer. Additionally
the effect of large PV power station on soil water content in desert region of Gonghe Basin was more obvious than the ones on other factors. The mean soil water content(10 cm) was increased by 71.61% in Gonghe Basin due to the effect of large PV power station.[Conclusion] The large PV power station made the relative humidity increased
the prevailing wind direction became single
the wind speed and mean soil temperature decreased
and soil humidity increased in desert region of Gonghe Basin.
