Solar thermal power generation has both peak shaving power supply and long-term https://www.databm. Photothermal power generation industry has a long chain, and large-scale development and utilization will become a new growth point of China's new energy industry. In order to better meet the needs of high-quality development of new energy sources and help speed up the construction of new power systems, the following suggestions are put forward to promote the large-scale development of photothermal power generation.
1. The overall goal
is to actively promote the construction of photothermal power generation projects, continuously expand new scenarios for the development and utilization of photothermal power generation, and ensure the large-scale development of photothermal power generation. By 2030, the total installed capacity of solar thermal power generation will strive to reach about 15 million kilowatts, and the cost per kilowatt hour will be basically the same as that of coal power. The technology will be internationally leading and completely independent and controllable, and the industry will realize independent marketization and industrial development, becoming a new industry with international competitive advantages in the field of new energy.

Establish a scientific and systematic resource survey content and method system, integrate basic data such as solar energy observation, land resources, topography and water resources, evaluate the level of photothermal resources, implement site construction constraints, link up land spatial planning, and form a comprehensive and systematic photothermal power generation resource database. Establish a dynamic management mechanism of census results database, update basic information in time, and ensure the timeliness and practicability of census results. In view of the key provinces and regions, we should clarify the superior resource areas and development potential, and do a good job of factor guarantee and site protection in advance, so as to lay a good foundation for project construction. Strengthen the sharing and application of census results to provide scientific basis for regional photothermal development.
(2) Do a good job in the planning and layout of photothermal power generation. To adapt to the situation and needs of large-scale development of photothermal power generation, we should clarify the position and role of photothermal power generation in the new power system, improve the research technology system of photothermal development planning, and scientifically carry out the research on the layout of photothermal power generation planning on the basis of resource survey. Provinces and regions are encouraged to formulate development plans for photothermal power generation according to local conditions, taking into full account the role of photothermal power generation in regional power balance and regulation of supporting power sources, in the light of national energy development strategy, ecological and environmental protection requirements, regional resource endowments, regional energy development needs, power system characteristics and electrothermal coupling needs. The layout of key projects of photothermal power generation is put forward in stages and regions around the development mode and implementation path, and the connection with other development plans is well done.
