Energy researchers are helping to pivot the country to carbon-neutral power by 2060, using both large and small-scale projects.
). They do so by correlating patterns of cloud clusters with the amount of solar energy received by photovoltaic panels — a measurement called irradiance.
China’s 9.6 million square kilometres of varied terrain means the team can’t develop one model that will work for every part of the country, particularly when it comes to predicting wind energy. For example, the researchers use a different model for wind farms in valleys than for farms in the country’s flat northwestern regions, or those in low-lying coastal areas. “In smaller countries, fewer models would be able to cover all farms,” says Wang.
It’s the kind of forward-thinking, renewable-energy research idea that attracts funding in China, says Zheng. His group of 12 researchers has received 1 million yuan from the National Natural Science Foundation of China, as well as 8.5 million yuan from various other grants, since 2018. China installed half of all new global offshore wind farms during 2020, and last year, it overtook the United Kingdom as the world’s largest operator of offshore wind capacity. Chinese wind farms made up 8 of the 11 largest new offshore projects listed by the consultancy Windpower Intelligence in November 2021.
