BEIJING, July 19 (Xinhuanet) — The world’s largest stand alone integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) project started transmitting power to the grid in Shanghai on Sunday in another move showcasing China’s commitment to reduced carbon emissions.
The 6.68-megawatt solar system can produce 6.3 million kilowatt-hours (kwh) of electricity per year to meet the needs of 12,000 Shanghai households. It will cut coal consumption by 2,254 tons, while reducing carbon emissions by 6,600 tons.
The project has been installed on the awnings on both sides of the newly completed Hongqiao Station of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway. Its 20,000 solar panels cover a roof area of 61,000 sq m and have produced 300,000 kwh power since the 160 million-yuan project began operation two weeks ago.
“The project is another manifestation of China’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions to fight climate change. It comes after the country set a voluntary target of cutting carbon intensity per unit of GDP by 40 to 45 percent by 2020,” said Yu Hailong, general manager of the Beijing-based China Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Group (CECEP), the project’s developer.
“As a pilot project, it will help stimulate the development of solar energy in China and promote the construction of more environmentally friendly railway stations,” he said.
Chief engineer of the Ministry of Railway Zheng Jian said China will further encourage BIPV implementation at railway stations, which serve as an ideal vehicle to promote the technology.
A 2.2-MV BIPV system has also been installed at the Wuhan Station of the Wuhan-Guangzhou High-speed Railway. The system was connected to the national grid in May, CECEP deputy manager Chen Shuguang said.
“BIPV technology does not take up extra space, because it is integrated into buildings’ design and construction. It is especially suitable for China’s eastern areas, where there are limited land resources yet greater energy demand,” Chen said.
The development of renewable energy has been topping the central government’s agenda. It aims to have an installed capacity of 20 gigawatts of solar units and 100 gigawatts of wind power by 2020, official statistics show.
A number of world-class pilot projects have been completed this year in Shanghai, which is hosting the World Expo 2010.
They include the 4.6-MV solar energy generation system installed in the Expo Garden and China’s first offshore wind farm, the 102-MV Donghai Bridge wind power project, which started transmitting electricity to the national grid in early July.
The government is also tendering for bids to develop 13 solar power projects with a combined capacity of 280 megawatts in the western regions, following last year’s bidding for a 10-megawatt solar power plant in Gansu province’s Dunhuang.
But Song Aizhen, of the solar energy branch of CECEP, said the government needs to come up with more detailed subsidy plans for renewable energies to encourage more active corporate investment.
“Take solar energy for instance – its cost is already three times that of thermal power, and BIPV technologies are even more expensive,” she said.

Chandigarh The UT Administration has adopted the theme, ‘generating electricity from solar power’, under the Solar City initiative, for which a proposal has been made before the Union government for its approval. According to the draft plan, which proposes to accord Chandigarh a solar city status, the UT Administration has recommended energy efficiency measures for the residential and commercial sectors of the city. The plan was finalised after discussion with The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI).
“You install solar panels and generate electricity for your house or commercial establishment. The surplus energy generated can be transmitted to a common grid, and its value shall be deducted from the monthly electricity bill of the generating source (electricity connection holder),” said a senior UT official.
Sources said that various government institutions, nationalised banks and certain private players are also in the process of generating electricity through solar power, for which talks are on with the UT Administration. “We are going to present a proposal to the Administration for allowing us to generate electricity required for all our premises in Chandigarh through solar power. The surplus energy generated by us can be transmitted to the national grid,” said a senior official of State Bank of India.
The solar city project will be funded by the Government of India, with a matching grant by the Administration or the municipal corporation, depending on who takes up the project as the nodal agency.
According to the plan, finalised by the Chandigarh Renewable Energy Science and Technology Promotion Society (CREST) and the Department of Science and Technology, certain changes have been recommended for commercial, residential and government buildings.
As per Engineering Department (Electricity wing), UT Administration, the maximum electricity demand of the city has been reported as 284 MW; the average power requirement is approximately 3.25 MU (mega units) per day. Since Chandigarh has no generating capacity of its own, it gets 67 per cent of its power through Mohali (Punjab State Electricity Board), about 10 per cent through Dhulkote (Bhakra Beas Management Board) and remaining 23 per cent through Nalagarh. The transmission and distribution losses have been reported as 18.67 per cent by the Engineering department.
By implementing the solar city initiative, the Administration plans to reduce the city’s energy consumption by 10 per cent in 2012 and 20 per cent by 2018.
The Administration would require around Rs 30-35 crore per year, till the completion of the middle-phase (by 2012) of the project. Prototype buildings shall also be promoted, which shall be a benchmark for energy conservation in the city. “We have sent the plan to the Union government. It is likely to be approved soon,” said Sanjay Kumar, Secretary (Engineering), UT Administration.

PAYERNE, Switzerland – A giant glider-like aircraft has completed the first night flight propelled only by solar energy.
Solar Impulse, whose wingspan is the same as an Airbus A340, flew 26 hours and 9 minutes, powered only by solar energy stored during the day. It was also the longest and highest flight in the history of solar aviation, organizers said.
Bertrand Piccard, the Swiss president of the project, best known for completing the first round-the-world flight in a hot air balloon in 1999, said the success of the flight showed the potential of renewable energies and clean technology.
“We are on the verge of the perpetual flight,” he said.
Jubilant pilot Andre Borschberg told Reuters television: “It was unbelievable, success better than we expected. We almost thought to make it longer, but we demonstrated what we wanted to demonstrate so they made me come back, so here I am.”
Borschberg, a former Swiss air force pilot who has flown for 40 years, returned to a hero’s welcome at Payerne air base in the northwestern canton of Vaud, where hundreds gathered at dawn to watch the aircraft glide onto the Tarmac at 0700 GMT.
The success of this first night flight by a solar-powered plane is crucial for the further course of the Solar Impulse project,” it said.
The Solar Impulse HB-SIA, which has 12,000 solar cells built into its 64.3-metre (193-foot) wings, is a prototype for an aircraft that its creators hope will carry out its first circumnavigation of the globe from 2012.
The next milestone will be crossing the Atlantic using a second prototype which goes into construction soon.
Sponsors of the project, whose budget is 100 million Swiss francs ($95 million), include Belgian chemicals company Solvay SA, Swiss watchmaker Omega, part of the Swatch group, and German banking giant Deutsche Bank. France’s Altran is the project’s engineering partner.

Solar energy car is a car to drive on the solar energy. Compared with the traditional engine drive cars, solar car is true zero emissions. Because of its characteristics of environmental protection, solar cars, many countries have advocated the development of automobile industry of and vigorous.
Solar car the a-si car solar power in automotive applications, will be able to effectively reduce the global environment pollution, creating clean living environment, along with the global economy and the rapid development of science and technology, solar car as an industry has not a myth. Burning gasoline cars in the city is an important source of pollution, the automobile exhaust emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides will include caused by air pollution, affect our health. Now scientists are developing countries to produce less pollution of the electric car, the hope can replace burn gasoline cars. But now the main cities in power is from the burning of fossil fuels, using electric cars will increase the demand, namely the electricity power of pollutants released indirectly.
In view of this, some environmentalists is advocated the development of solar cars, car using solar energy into electrical energy into the light energy storage battery, will keep up, to promote the motor car. Because of a solar car without burning fossil fuels, so not emit pests. It has been estimated that if the car replaced by solar fuel automobile car, each car can reduce carbon dioxide emissions 43 to 54%.
Solar Power VS Fossil Fuels

The fossil fuel process takes a long time, and will eventually run out. But as long as the sun burns, we will have the cleaner and more portable option of PVs.
The sun’s energy is so powerful that in just 1 hour the amount of energy that falls on the earth equals the amount used by the world’s population in a whole year.
Most of the sun’s energy transforms to processes such as heat and photosynthesis, which are the driving factors behind our weather and biological systems. But it can also be captured and converted into electricity.
Solar charger has been designed to harness the sun’s energy, shortening the process of transforming it into electricity by using photovoltaic cells (PVs). PVs convert sunlight into electricity that can be used immediately. The process is clean, fast, noiseless, and—thanks to solar laptop charger—easily portable.
Here’s how it works. Light from the sun hits the solar cells, exciting electrons within the cell. Some of them break free, and are channeled through a conductive metal strip to create an electric current. This current can either be stored in a battery or used directly in the form of electricity. The stronger the sunlight and the more rays that hit the cell, the more electricity is generated.
Now consider fossil fuels. These are formed by utilizing solar energy that has been stored in plants that grew millions of years ago.
After these plants have been buried and compressed under tons of earth, they are transformed into oil. This oil is then extracted and refined, using heavy machinery that pollutes the air. The oil must then be delivered to its destination, creating a need for more polluting machinery.
Ultimately, the burning of this fuel for power has a negative impact on the delicate climatic and environmental balance of our world.
