Arctech’s SkyWings Empowers the World’s Largest Single-Capacity PV Power Plant Built on Coal Mining Subsidence Area

Published

November 18, 2024

By

ORDOS, China, Nov. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Arctech, the world’s solar tracking and racking solutions provider, announced that its 1P single-axis dual-row solar tracking system SkyWings has facilitated the on-time grid connection of Mengxi Blue Ocean Photovoltaic Power Station, the world’s largest single-capacity solar plant built on coal mining subsidence area. By adopting SkyWings, the plant’s annual average grid-connected capacity is enhanced by an impressive 7.41%, greatly improving the ROI.

SkyWings, equipped with Arctech’s synchronous multi-point drive mechanism and innovative torque tube design with exceptional bending and torsion resistance, can maintain normal operation even in wind speeds of up to 18m/s (level 8 gale), resulting in an increase of up to 2% in power generation. Powered by its second-generation AI algorithm, SkyWings can calculate the optimum tracker tilt across various terrains and environments, enabling real-time shading avoidance and leading to an additional energy generation boost of up to 8%.

Moreover, to better accommodate the irregular and undulating topography of the plant, Arctech provided a customized SkyWings solar tracking solution that incorporates terrain following capabilities. The tolerance for undulation between adjacent rows is set at 20% in the east-west direction and 15% in the north-south direction. Additionally, Arctech tailored the design of post height to maximize space beneath the solar panels, facilitating agrivoltaics practices. Consequently, farmers are now able to cultivate crops and raise livestock underneath solar panels, achieving both economic and ecological benefits.

To mitigate pollution and ecological damage to the grassland during both construction and operation, SkyWings employs one-piece H-shaped steel piles, while the construction team utilizes on-site static pressure construction. Moreover, following 25 years of safe power station operation, approximately 90% of the steel pipe piles of SkyWings remain suitable for recycling purposes, thereby reducing waste discharge by around 60% compared to traditional concrete piles.

Upon operation, this plant is expected to generate 5.7 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, sufficient to power two million households. Each year, it can save 1.71 million tons of standard coal and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 4.7 million tons — equivalent to planting 62,700 hectares of trees.

The utilization of Arctech’s SkyWings in this plant further demonstrates its versatility as a solar tracking system capable of adapting to diverse scenarios, including agrivoltaics, irregular terrains, coal mining subsidence areas, and more.

QINGDAO, China, Nov. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from chinadaily.com.cn: 

Important in Qingdao’s development strategy, Laoshan district is a city of science and technology that is a fertile ground for innovation and a number of strategic emerging industries and future industries.

In 1994, the initial batch of high-tech enterprises in Qingdao began to congregate in Laoshan. Over the past 30 years, Laoshan has focused on expanding and strengthening the value chains of seven key industries including artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and modern finance.

The district has attracted a large number of innovative enterprises, including nine unicorn companies, 28 nationally recognized specialized and new “little giant” enterprises, 47 provincial-level gazelle enterprises, and 920 high-tech enterprises, all of which are among the top in the city in terms of quantity.

Laoshan district currently has the highest density of scientific and technological innovation in Shandong, with 178 high-tech enterprises per 10,000 companies, 52 national and provincial-level scientific research institutions, and 160 academicians and high-level talents.

By 2023, the proportion of the output value of high-tech industries in Laoshan district to the total output value of large-scale industries reached 86.55 percent, with the leading industry scale exceeding 180 billion yuan ($25.33 billion). Laoshan district has been selected as one of the nation’s top 100 industrial zones for two consecutive years.

Taking virtual reality as an example, as early as 2016, Laoshan district proposed that it become China’s virtual reality industry capital. In 2022, Qingdao constructed an industrial park featuring virtual reality in Laoshan, which has a planned area of over 2,000 mu (133.33 hectares), aiming to create an internationally leading highland for the virtual reality industry.

With the establishment of the industrial park, Laoshan district has vigorously attracted industry-leading enterprises and high-growth companies, as well as top talents in virtual reality. Currently, the park has attracted leading consumer-facing companies such as Douyin Pico and Dapeng VR, as well as core supporting enterprises such as electroacoustic components manufacturer GoerTek and Chinese virtual reality headset maker Pico. Shipments of high-end VR products from leading companies in the park account for over 80 percent of the domestic market.

In 2023, the scale of the virtual reality industry in Laoshan district surpassed 18 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 50 percent, and the virtual reality industry cluster was selected as a provincial-level future industry cluster.
