Photovoltaic panel graphics power station

What is a photovoltaic power station?

A photovoltaic power station, also known as a solar park, solar farm, or solar power plant, is a large-scale grid-connected photovoltaic power system (PV system) designed for the supply of merchant power.

Which data format is used in a PV power station map?

The data format is GeoTIFF while the spatial reference is WGS-84. Meanwhile, only two kinds of values are in the PV power station map, where 0 stands for the non-PV regions while 1 represents the PV power stations.

Where are photovoltaic solar panels located?

Photovoltaic solar panels cover several hills in China's Fujian province. # Reflected sunlight is directed at the tower of the Abengoa solar plant at Solucar solar park in Sanlúcar la Mayor, near the Andalusian capital of Seville, in southern Spain, on November 13, 2015. #

Should PV power stations be monitored?

The monitoring of PV power stations would be meaningful for both researchers and government officials. As mentioned above, the last decade has witnessed the widespread of PV power stations in China, where much previous gobi, grassland, water bodies and mountain land have now been covered by newly-built PV power stations (Fig. 1).

What is the difference between 0 & 1 in a PV power station map?

Meanwhile, only two kinds of values are in the PV power station map, where 0 stands for the non-PV regions while 1 represents the PV power stations. In addition, the provided PV dataset could be loaded into GIS software such as ArcGIS and QIS for data visualization and spatial analysis.

Can remote sensing derived data be used for large-scale photovoltaic power stations?

Scientific Data 11, Article number: 198 (2024) Cite this article We provide a remote sensing derived dataset for large-scale ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) power stations in China of 2020, which has high spatial resolution of 10 meters.
