Large-scale ground photovoltaic power station development process
一、 According to the "Interim Measures for the Management of Photovoltaic Power Station Projects" issued by the National Energy Administration, the state implements record-keeping management for large-scale ground-connected photovoltaic power station projects.
二、 Early exploration stage
1. Preparations before the expedition
(1) Communicate with the villages and counties where the land is located
(2) Computer macro location selection
(3) Prepare survey equipment
√ Communicate with the village and county where the land is located to understand the site location, approximate area, land type and property rights, landform features, nearby Substations, etc. √ Use the approximate area to estimate the scale of photovoltaic modules that can be deployed. Estimate the difficulty and cost of land acquisition based on land type and property rights. Estimate the difficulty of construction through landform features, flat land, mountains or water. Estimate the distance and cost of accessing the system through nearby substations. √ It is also necessary to have an in-depth understanding of local photovoltaic subsidy policies, allowed construction capacity, whether there are projects under construction, and completed projects income, etc. √ When survey conditions permit, drone aerial photography can be used to effectively improve the quality and efficiency of survey and assessment.
2. Inspection work during the reconnaissance
(1) Observe the topography of the site
(2) Investigate the geological conditions of the site
(3) Determine the field coordinates
According to different topography and landforms, you need to pay attention to the following conditions when surveying
1. common problem
Visually check the thickness of the soil layer on the ground and whether the rock layer can be seen in the exposed parts. Too thin soil layer will affect the difficulty of future civil construction.
Observe the forest coverage and try to avoid livestock sheds, cemeteries and farmers’ cottages to reduce land acquisition costs;
2. flat ground
Due to the large area of the photovoltaic site, the entire site cannot be seen from one boundary point. It is recommended that the site be surveyed as comprehensively as possible and that alluvial ditches, air raid shelters and other military facilities be avoided when selecting the site;
3. Mountain
Observe the trend of the mountain. Photovoltaic modules should be arranged on a hillside running east-west and facing the south, and there should be no obstruction around them;
The slope of the mountain should be less than 25°, otherwise the later construction difficulty and maintenance costs will be greatly increased;
4. Water surface and tidal flats
Know the deepest water level of your site so you can choose the appropriate form of PV foundation. Generally, when the water depth is less than 4 meters, prefabricated pipe pile foundations are used; when the water depth is greater than 4 meters, floating forms are used;
Understand the highest flood level or highest tide level of the site in the past 30 years, and ensure that the design height of the fixed bracket is above the highest water level;
Understand the growth characteristics of underwater aquaculture products, and rationally select photovoltaic module types, installation forms, layout heights and spacing to meet functional needs such as fisheries.
5. coal mining subsidence area
When it comes to site selection in coal mining subsidence areas, it is recommended to investigate the mining status of the proposed site and the mining plan for the next 20 years, and avoid open pits, slag hills, water accumulation areas, etc.
For goaf areas with no future mining plans, they will be distinguished according to the requirements on suitable areas, basic suitable areas and poor suitability areas in the "Coal Mine Goaf Geotechnical Survey Specifications"
Sites with future mining plans should be avoided as much as possible
For areas where mining has been suspended, it is necessary to know how many years the site has stabilized and settled, and obtain a stable settlement report before conducting selective development.
3. Calculation work after the survey
(1) Determine site type
Go to the Land and Resources Bureau (check the second survey map), Cultural Relics Bureau and Forestry Bureau to check the land type of the site and whether it covers cultural relics or minerals. If the land is of a type that cannot be used or is covered, blindly carrying out follow-up work will cause inconvenience. Necessary waste.
(2) Measure site area
Input the GPS coordinates into the map, observe the macroscopic situation of the site, measure the site area, and estimate the photovoltaic installed capacity.
(3) Determine the connected substation
Based on the estimated photovoltaic installed capacity, design and deliver the voltage level; examine the voltage level, capacity, and whether to reserve intervals of the nearest substation to the site, and collect the electrical primary diagram of the substation to determine the photovoltaic access capacity. If there is no suitable access point, T pick-up and drop-off can be carried out with the approval of the prefecture-level power grid company.
(4) Main policies for land use for photovoltaic projects
1||| Land Land Document No. 5—Basic Provisions on Land Issues

3||| Forestry Document No. 153 - Regulations on the use of forest land for photovoltaic projects
In November 2015, the State Forestry Administration issued the "Notice on Issues Concerning the Use of Forest Land in the Construction of Photovoltaic Power Stations" (Lin Zifa [2015] No. 153). The document stated: · Photovoltaic power stations are prohibited from using woodland, sparse forest land, unforested afforestation land, logging land, fire-scarred land, as well as shrub land with a coverage of more than 30% in areas with an annual rainfall of less than 400 mm, and areas with a high coverage of an annual rainfall of more than 400 mm. In 50% shrubland; · In the forest-solar complementary composite project, the battery module array will be used as temporary occupied forest land during the construction period. During the operation period, both parties will sign a compensation agreement and use the forest land through leasing.
4||| Strictly abide by the regulations on resource, environment and ecological protection red lines
In May 2016, nine ministries and commissions including the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Forestry Administration, the Energy Administration, and the Ocean Administration jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Strengthening the Management and Control of Resources, Environment and Ecological Red Lines" (Fa Gai Huan Zi [2016] No. 1162); In February 2017, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Delimiting and Strictly Observing Ecological Protection Red Lines." The successive release of the two documents indicates that the ecological protection red line has become a "tightening curse" for project site selection; · Ecological protection red lines mainly include national and provincial-level prohibited development areas, as well as other types of protected areas that require strict protection (including wetlands, nature reserves, forest parks, scenic spots, soil erosion prevention areas, etc.); · It is strictly prohibited for any project to fall within the ecological protection red line, and to prevent development and construction activities from damaging the ecological protection red line.
