The popularity and importance of solar power generation in the United States and China continues to increase. This research effort investigated the present status of solar power generation in both countries. The solar installation incentives provided by the two governments were analyzed. Comparisons between the countries would also focus on: (1) solar electricity generation capacity, (2) solar energy policy comparisons, (3) economic effects of solar energy development, and (4) future solar energy challenges. Conclusions would then be discussed on the comparison topics.

Temporal Factor

The research aims to study the extent of the possible benefit from the solar fall falling in the state of Kuwait to operate submersible type pumps and to show the rate of flow of these pumps according to the change of solar radiation taking into account the spatial and temporal factor. The abundance of the area in southern Kuwait was chosen because there is good brightness for this area underground at different depths. As for the temporal factor, the timing of the transition was chosen between two important seasons that start from mid-January to mid-March, which is the period during which the brightness of the sun moves from the intermediate stage to the full brightness stage. The experimental study showed that the pump passes through two stages, the first of which is not operating and responding For the process of drawing if the solar radiation falling on the panels is less than 225 W/ m2, and the second stage occurs a response and operation of the pump gradually if the falling solar radiation is higher than the previous value, as the study showed that there is a large amount of external energy that is not exploited at some times of the day, especially in Sunny days, where the proportions decreased from 4.8 l/ 1000 watt to 1.5 l/ 1000 watt with an increase in the amount of energy from 430 w/ m 2 to 1005 w T/ m 2 The amount of flow fluctuated during the days of the study due to the differences in the sun's brightness and climate change, and the study was conducted using a method of taking periodic, daily and instant measurements, to determine the amount of energy and flow by using a solar radiation measuring device with a storage memory, which is a device for one of the companies that install solar energy panels And easily traded and other devices such as digital voltmeter and clip meter and water meter, the study concluded that the use of submersible pumps powered by solar energy with the presence of special characteristics such as the pump capacity, water depth and degree of brightness.

The State Of Kuwait

Over the years, the production capacity for power generation has not been able to keep pace with the surge in electricity demand in the oil-rich State of Kuwait. To expand its power generation capacity, Kuwait's strategic energy plans focus on constructing gas turbine and fuel oil stations. This paper aimed to evaluate the prospect of photovoltaic solar energy (PV) in generating electricity as an alternative to decrease dependency on combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power stations. It applies the LCOE framework to evaluate the economic feasibility of installing a 100 MW PV and CCGT power stations in Kuwait. The results indicate that under the assumption of 5% interest rate, the estimated LCOE of PV station ($0.19/kWh) is unfeasible in comparison to the generation cost of gas turbine station ($0.11/kWh). However, the analysis has emphasized that evaluation of future electricity generation plans must not be limited to the LCOE criteria and should incorporate the following factors: the effect of natural gas supply constraints on the production of gas turbine plants, the environmental concerns of CO2emissions, the peak load demand, and the domestic energy balance mix. The paper concludes that once these factors are addressed properly, the prospect of PV power stations becomes relatively feasible.

This paper investigates the feasibility of a solar cogeneration system, as a solution to reduce fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in a tissue mill, located in the industrial district of Lucca (North Italy). Although the paper sector has a high theoretical potential for the use of solar energy, the implementation of a solar thermal plant may not be economically sustainable, due to the expensive investment of such a system and to the uncertainty of future benefits. These issues are even more relevant in a moderate climate, where the high variability of the direct normal irradiance can prevent the technical feasibility of the plant. To demonstrate the possible use of solar energy in paper mills, a concentrating solar power plant with thermal storage, based on parabolic trough technology, has been chosen as a feasible solution for combined heat and power generation and its technical and economical performances have been evaluated through an extensive simulation analysis. The results obtained prove the feasibility of the proposed system and assure a good economic profitability. Results also show how the possibility of benefiting from economic incentives for renewable electric power generation is fundamental to reduce the payback period and to assure the profitability of the investment.
