CSP.guru 2021-07-01

This is the fourth version of CSP.guru produced during the openCSP project and reflects the state of play in the middle of 2021. As requested by CSP.guru users, we include for the first time a Microsoft Excel ".xlsx" for quick analysis, but also retain the data-package for machine readability.<br> This release has three new data fields: "Local_spelling", especially relevant for the Chinese plants, indicates the name in Mandarin or other alphabets. Second, we added two fields "hybridisation_capacity" and "Hybridisation_comment" to collect data on co-location of CSP plants with other power sources. Early plants often had a fossil fuel burner to increase the capacity factor, ISCC plants are integrated with a natural gas combined cycle, and modern CSP plants are often co-located or integrated with other renewable power sources, especially low-cost power generators from PV and wind. In terms of projects, in the first half of 2021 one plant, Cerro Dominador in Chile, went online. To that, we added three plants in China as under construction namely Supcon Delingha 135 MW Tower, Shouhang Yumen 100 MW Tower and the Shenzhen Jinfan Akesai - 50MW Trough. For an upcoming analysis we also added some additional pilot plants. Additionally, we updated some data entries as better sources were available, including for the Hami project. The location of Duba Green ISCC was updated and the status set to under construction, as it is not clear that the plant is operational. Finally, it is important to point out that the field "operational" means something different in China than in other countries. In China grid connection and first power production suffice to be eligible for the Feed-in-tariff, while in other contexts operational indicates the completion of the plant.本数据集为openCSP项目期间产出的CSP.guru第四版，反映了2021年中期的行业发展态势。应CSP.guru用户的需求，本次首次附带了可用于快速分析的微软Excel（Microsoft Excel）.xlsx格式文件，同时保留了适配机器读取的标准数据包。 本次更新新增了三个数据字段：其一为"本地拼写（Local_spelling）"，该字段针对中国电站尤为关键，用于标注中文普通话或其他字母体系下的电站名称；其二新增了"混合发电容量（hybridisation_capacity）"与"混合发电备注（Hybridisation_comment）"两个字段，用于收集光热电站（CSP）与其他电源协同布局的相关数据。早期光热电站通常搭载化石燃料燃烧器，以提升机组容量因子；集成太阳能联合循环电站（ISCC）则与天然气联合循环系统实现集成；现代光热电站则常与其他可再生电源（尤其是光伏（PV）与风电这类低成本发电机组）实现协同布局或集成。 项目维度方面，2021年上半年智利的塞罗多米纳多（Cerro Dominador）电站正式并网投产。此外，本次更新新增了3座中国在建电站：中控德令哈135MW塔式电站、首航玉门100MW塔式电站以及深圳金帆阿克塞50MW槽式电站。为支撑后续专项分析，本次还新增了一批试点电站数据。此外，由于获取到了更权威的数据源，我们对部分数据条目进行了更新，其中包括哈密项目。杜巴绿色ISCC电站的位置信息已完成更新，其状态被调整为在建，因目前尚无明确信息证实该电站已正式投运。 最后需特别说明："已投运（operational）"字段在中国与其他国家的定义存在显著差异。在中国，只要完成并网并实现首次电力产出，即可申领上网电价补贴（Feed-in-tariff）；而在其他语境中，"已投运"代表电站已全面竣工并正式投入使用。
