Table 1 Research results of the impact of PV power plant on temperature.
Literature | Location | Time span | Conclusions |
|---|---|---|---|
/ | One year | Photovoltaic modules have a self-cooling function, which is particularly prominent at night | |
158° E–202° E | 2010.08.14–2011.03.14 | Under the self-cooling mechanism of the photovoltaic array, there is no heat island effect at an altitute of 5–18 m in the station during the day | |
The Los Angelse region | / | Considering the conversion efficiency of solar energy in the future, the deployment of solar photovoltaic can cool the urban environment | |
36°7′9″ N,100°32′22″ E | 2015.08.01–2015.09.30 | During the day, the temperature inside the station is higher than outside the station, and the adverseness is the case at night; the relative humidity of the air at 2 m at night changes significantly higher than outside the station | |
The Sahara region | / | Using a climate model with dynamic vegetation to simulate the coverage of wind farms and solar farms in the Sahara Desert will increase local temperature and precipitation by more than 2 times. This local enhancement depends on the scale of the electric field and is unique to the Sahara Desert. The impact in other deserts is small | |
36.136°N,100.588°E | 2015.05–2016.04 | Photovoltaic power plants are energy sinks throughout the year, especially in warm reasons | |
32°33′16.6″ N,111°17′03.7″ W | 2017.09.26–2018.07.11 | During the day, the daily average maximum temperature at 1.5 m inside the station was higher than that outside the station by 1.3 °C, and there was no significant difference in night temperature |
