Ye Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation Project

Why is distributed solar PV important in Yemen?

As most of the population in Yemen live in rural areas and are geographically dispersed, it is costly to connect them to the main grid, making distributed solar PV solutions a critical part of any electrification strategy in Yemen. Figure 1 shows the photovoltaic power potential in Yemen. Figure 1: Photovoltaic (PV) Power Potential

Can photovoltaic replace high-carbon energy sources?

With the growing greenhouse effect and energy crisis, photovoltaic accelerates the replacement of high-carbon emission energy sources in the energy sector (Ahmad et al., 2020; Ghosh et al., 2023).

Will PV power systems grow in 2022?

According to the International Energy Agency's PV Power Systems Program (2022) (Abdullah-Al-Mahbub et al., 2023), the global installed PV capacity will exceed 942 GW by the end of 2021, and continuous price reductions in the battery storage area will result in a growing market for distributed PV power systems (Jäger-Waldau, 2022).

Can solar energy reduce the fiscal burden of the Yemeni government?

Imports of fossil fuels for electricity generation have placed a significant and increas- ing fiscal burden on the Yemeni government over the years, in addition to their impact on foreign currency reserves and balance of trade. Solar energy has the potential to address this challenge and reduce the burden.

How resource endowment affect solar PV power generation?

Therefore, resource endowment has a great impact on solar PV power generation. The stronger the solar radiation, the more obvious the benefits of the project. Moreover, the construction quality of the project per se is also the key to the efficient and stable performance of the power station.

Is photovoltaic power a global consensus?

According to existing studies, it has become a global consensus around supporting the clean and low-carbon energy transition, vigorously developing photovoltaic power generation, and achieving a coordinated interaction between the electricity market, the carbon market, and the green power market (Li et al., 2022; Zhang et al., 2023b).
