Control measures and strategies for wind-sand problems of photovoltaic power stations in desert areas
In order to achieve the goals of"carbon peaking"and"carbon neutrality",exploring the best ecological construction and ap-plication solutions to address the problems faced by PV power plants in desert areas,such as sand build-up,erosion and sustainability of fragile ecosystems.The study was conducted through field research of completed photovoltaic power plants in desert areas and combined with remote sensing data analysis.It collects the wind-sand control measures and original vegetation condition of desert photovoltaic pow-er plants,summarizes the existing wind-sand control modes of photovoltaic power plants,and calculates the change of vegetation cover of photovoltaic power plants with different modes.The results show that the use of wind-sand control modes helps to improve the vegetation cover in photovoltaic power plants and achieve ecological recovery.The average vegetation covers of the studied photovoltaic plants in-creased from 8.5%to 10.5%and the maximum vegetation cover increased from 33.6%to 57.9%during the growing season.The study suggests adopting targeted management measures and modes according to the differences in surface conditions,climatic environ-ment and water sources in different regions,in order to more effectively cope with the wind-sand problems faced by photovoltaic power plants in different regions,improve the effectiveness of the management,promote the sustainable development of photovoltaic power plants,and provide a reference for the construction of solar power plants in desert regions.
