Recently, the ENERGY CHINA ZTPC Xinjiang Turpan CSP + PV Integrated Project (100MW CT CSP) has demonstrated outstanding operational performance, with power generation repeatedly reaching new highs.

On March 31, the plant's daily power generation exceeded 1000MWh, reaching 1133 MWh, setting a new record for single-day generation since its commissioning. In April, as solar resource conditions at the project site continued to improve, the monthly Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) reached 180.03 kWh/m². The plant seized the favorable conditions to operate efficiently, generating a total of 13.2386 GWh for the month, achieving 92% of the generation target. This monthly generation volume marked a new high since commissioning, realizing dual breakthroughs in both daily and monthly power generation.

The ENERGY CHINA ZTPC Xinjiang Turpan CSP + PV Integrated Project (100MW CT CSP) is one of the second batch of market-based grid-connected new energy projects in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region for 2022. Located in Qiketai Town, Shanshan County, Turpan City, Xinjiang, the project has a total installed capacity of 1 GW, including 900 MW (AC side) of PV and 100 MW of solar thermal power, equipped with a 12-hour thermal energy storage system, effectively leveraging its role in peak regulation and stable output.

The project's EPC general contractor is a consortium comprising China Energy Engineering Group Zhejiang Electric Power Design Institute Co., Ltd., Cosin Solar Technology Co., Ltd., and Zhejiang Huaye Power Engineering Co., Ltd. Cosin Solar is primarily responsible for the technical solution of the heliostat field and receiver system, equipment integration and supply, as well as related commissioning and operation guidance services, while also providing necessary technical support for other systems.

The dual record-breaking achievements in daily and monthly power generation not only validate the maturity and superiority of tower solar thermal power generation technology but also set a benchmark for the efficient operation of solar thermal projects in the same batch of large-scale wind-solar bases. Moreover, as a significant practice of the solar thermal + PV multi-energy complementary model in Xinjiang, this project injects strong confidence into the large-scale and high-quality development of the solar thermal power industry in Xinjiang, carrying important demonstration and guiding significance for accelerating the energy structure transformation in the region and across the country.
