Photovoltaic power potential of Canada

Summary

[edit]
Description
Français : Énergie solaire : POTENTIEL D’ÉNERGIE PHOTOVOLTAÏQUE (PVOUT) - cette carte présente un résumé du potentiel estimé de production d’énergie solaire photovoltaïque (PV). Elle représente la moyenne à long terme des totaux quotidiens/annuels de la production d’électricité d’une centrale solaire photovoltaïque connectée au réseau de 1 kW de crête. La configuration du système PV se compose de structures autoportantes au sol avec des modules PV en silicium cristallin montés à une position fixe, avec une inclinaison optimale pour maximiser le rendement énergétique annuel. On suppose l’utilisation d’onduleurs à haut rendement. Le calcul de l’électricité solaire est basé sur des données de ressources solaires haute résolution et un logiciel de modélisation PV fourni par Solargis. Le calcul prend en compte le rayonnement solaire, la température de l’air et le terrain, pour simuler la conversion d’énergie et les pertes dans les modules PV et d’autres composants d’une centrale photovoltaïque. Dans la simulation, les pertes dues aux saletés et aux salissures ont été estimées à 3,5 %. L’effet cumulé des autres pertes de conversion (ombre entre les rangées, discordance, onduleurs, câbles, transformateur, etc.) est supposé être de 7,5 %. On considère une disponibilité de la centrale de 100 %. La base de données des ressources solaires sous-jacente est calculée à partir des données atmosphériques et satellitaires avec un pas de temps de 15 minutes et 30 minutes et une résolution spatiale nominale de 1 km.

English: Solar energy: PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER POTENTIAL (PVOUT) - this map provides a summary of estimated solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation potential. It represents the long-term average of daily/yearly totals of electricity production from a 1 kW-peak grid-connected solar PV power plant. The PV system configuration consists of ground-based, free-standing structures with crystalline-silicon PV modules mounted at a fixed position, with optimum tilt to maximize yearly energy yield. Use of high efficiency inverters is assumed. The solar electricity calculation is based on high-resolution solar resource data and PV modeling software provided by Solargis. The calculation takes into account solar radiation, air temperature, and terrain, to simulate the energy conversion and losses in the PV modules and other components of a PV power plant. In the simulation, losses due to dirt and soiling was estimated to be 3.5%. The cumulative effect of other conversion losses (inter-row shading, mismatch, inverters, cables, transformer, etc.) is assumed to be 7.5%. The power plant availability is considered to be 100%. The underlying solar resource database is calculated from atmospheric and satellite data with a 15-minute and 30-minute time step, and a nominal spatial resolution of 1 km.

The World Bank Group has published this solar resource map using data from the Global Solar Atlas (GSA), to support the scale-up of solar power in our client countries. This work is funded by the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), a multi-donor trust fund administered by The World Bank and supported by 18 donor partners. It is part of a global ESMAP initiative on Renewable Energy Resource Mapping that covers biomass, hydropower, solar and wind. This map has been prepared by Solargis, under contract to The World Bank, based on a solar resource database that Solargis owns and maintains.
