The PV potential of a WWTP is correlated with its planned wastewater treatment capacity. The number of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in China is fast growing as the country's urbanization accelerates. WWTPs, part of the high-energy-consumption industry, must use a lot of energy in wastewater treatment.
This article examines the PV potential, financial feasibility, energy savings, and emission reduction effect of large-scale WWTPs in China using the cable-supported system. Furthermore, China's total PV power potential for urban WWTPs has been assessed at 5.6 GW for the first time.
Strazzabosco et al. assessed the status of solar PV in WWTPs of various sizes in California, USA, and determined the potential of solar PV in the wastewater industry . Colacicco et al. proposed a solar PV design method for WWTPs to optimize the energy consumption of oxidation tanks in WWTPs .
The main conclusions of the study are as follows: The PV potential of China's urban WWTPs can reach 5.6 GW. The total PV potential of the 31 WWTPs with different wastewater treatment capacities in various provinces of China is 465 MW. The PV potential of a WWTP is highly positively correlated with its planned wastewater treatment capacity.
