China drying wire Reuters in Europe, the United States proposed the "double reverse" survey, China's PV industry into a "winter" and faces a serious problem of excess production capacity for our photovoltaic modules. When attending the China New Energy Salon on the 14th, the Australian Trade Commission’s Investment Commissioner Wang Hengyan pointed out that the Australian government plans to vigorously develop the photovoltaic industry and gave support policies including financial subsidy to PV R&D institutions. However, the Australian photovoltaic industry is blank and there is no photovoltaic production enterprise in its homeland. , China's PV production companies can complement the Australian R&D companies, and Australia can transfer sources for excess photovoltaic capacity in China.
Analysts pointed out that although the Australian market has innate resource advantages, a favorable policy environment, and leading R&D capabilities, its existence of partial overcapacity and difficulties in grid connection will become a challenge for Chinese PV companies to enter the Australian market. Chinese enterprises may be able to carry out distributed power generation projects in the central and western regions of Australia.
Australia's photovoltaic industry has a good investment environment. Industry gaps create opportunities for Chinese companies.
The Australian Trade Commission’s data shows that 78% of Australia’s electricity production comes from coal, 15% from natural gas, and wind and solar energy account for only 1%. The Australian government plans to increase the share of clean energy in power generation to 20% by 2020 and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 15% in 2000.
In order to encourage the development of clean energy in Australia, last year Australia established a clean energy finance company, with the government injecting 10 billion Australian dollars, mainly investing in clean energy technology development. This year, a renewable energy agency was established. The Australian government injected A$3.2 billion as a fund to support clean energy projects. At present, the Australian government has approved 69 solar projects.
Since there is no photovoltaic production company in Australia, Chinese companies will not face competition with Australian local companies and will not produce trade frictions similar to those of Europe and the United States. At the same time, as Australia has world-leading R&D technologies and institutions in the photovoltaic industry, Chinese companies can cooperate with R&D projects. Australian Trade Commission Investment Commissioner Wang Hengyan said.
Difficulties in grid connection and overcapacity have become a concern for PV companies entering Australia
Wang Hengyan said that the problem of “difficulties in grid connection†encountered by Chinese PV companies in the country also exists in Australia. From a technical point of view, the power quality of photovoltaic power generation is not high. Power grid companies have high requirements on the relative stability of power supply, while photovoltaic power generation suffers from low predictability due to weather changes and insufficient reliability. Relatively speaking, the traditional power technology is mature, and the frequency of the power system is stable. PV companies have no advantage in the Internet.
Wang Hengyan said that the power supply of the major large and medium-sized cities in Australia has already been in surplus. It is reported that from 2009 to 2010, the Australian government granted subsidies of 6,000 Australian dollars to households installing solar roofs in order to encourage the development of off-grid PV industry. By the end of 2010, rooftop solar energy capacity in New South Wales already accounted for 39% of the total installed capacity, and Queensland accounted for 24%. The rapid development of the off-grid PV industry has impacted traditional electricity and caused excess capacity in some Australian cities.
At present, many clean energy projects in Australia have stagnated. The crux of the matter is that there is no agreement with the power grid companies on electricity prices. Australian Power Grid Corporation is in a monopoly position. Power companies have less bargaining power and it is difficult for PV power producers to make profits. Wang Hengyan said.
“And, Australia’s electricity prices are complex and change every second; Australia’s grid companies require power companies to compete on the grid by bidding, and it is very difficult for power companies to reach fixed tariffs with grid companies.†Deng Juan, Regional Manager, International Division, China Wind Power Group Co., Ltd. Said.
Distributed generation or one of the outlets
Wang Hengyan pointed out that Australia is sparsely populated and the population distribution is extremely uneven. The Australian power grid only covers large and medium-sized cities with dense population. In other regions, because of the sparse population, the loss caused by transmission of electricity is very uneconomical. Therefore, Western Australia and the Northern Territory are not connected to the national electricity market and can only use diesel or natural gas to generate electricity.
Wang Hengyan pointed out that there are many mining areas in central Australia. These mining areas are far away from the center of the city and cannot be covered by power grids. Most of these companies choose to use diesel or natural gas to generate electricity on their own. However, the current price of diesel fuel has been rising. Moreover, the new policy requires that 20% of mining companies' own power generation must be from clean energy sources. Chinese PV companies will be able to obtain good returns by investing in the establishment of distributed photovoltaic power stations in the Midwest of Australia.
Zhu Min, a photovoltaic analyst at Zhuo Chuang, said that the development of distributed solar PV is a good way to bypass the difficulties of grid integration and give full play to the advantages of photovoltaics. In the mobility and independence of power generation, photovoltaic power generation has the advantage that all traditional energy power generation does not have.
From a technical point of view, Deng Juan said that the content of off-grid power generation technology is not high and it is similar to grid-connected power, and there is no difficulty in development.
Wang Min said that compared with grid-connected power generation, off-grid power generation has a small investment and quick results, and its components are relatively simple. It consists of three components: solar battery components, controllers, and batteries. Therefore, the construction is faster, from installation to use. Time depends on the amount of work, from as little as one day to two months.
