Site selection of desert solar farms based on heterogeneous sand flux

EarthArXiv (California Digital Library) (2023)

Guoshuai Li Lihai Tan Bao Yang Tao Che Guangcai Feng

Site selection for building solar farms in deserts is crucial and must consider the dune threats associated with sand flux, such as sand burial and dust contamination. Understanding the changes in sand flux can optimize the site selection of desert solar farms. Here we use the ERA5-Land hourly wind data with 0.1°×0.1° resolution to calculate the yearly sand flux from 1950 to 2022. The mean of sand flux is used to score the suitability of global deserts for building solar farms. We find that the majority of global deserts have low flux potential (≤40 m3 m-1 yr-1) and resultant flux potential (≤2.0 m3 m-1 yr-1) over the past 73 years. The scoring result demonstrates presents that global deserts have obvious patch distribution of site suitability for building solar farms. Our study optimizes the site selection of desert solar farms, which aligns with the United Nations sustainability development goals for achieving affordable and clean energy target by 2030.

Dynamic monitoring of sand hill and wind-blown sand environment in the scenic spots of Crescent Moon Spring in Dunhuang,China

Ganhanqu ziyuan yu huanjing (2013)

Lihai Tan

Based on the detailed data of wind,sand ripple and long-term dynamic monitoring of sand hill in the scenic spots of Crescent Moon Spring,the author revealed the causes of converging attack from both the northern sand hill and southern sand hill.Under the influence of terrain such as high sand hill in the scenic spots,two different directions of local circulation were formed.The first local circulation was the wind came from the airport in the scenic spots of Crescent Moon Spring.After that,the wind would be affected by northern sand hill,southern sand hill and eastern sand hill in turn.Therefore,the direction of wind was changed.Finally the wind would overflow the scenic spots of Crescent Moon Spring along the western mountain.The other local circulation was the wind came from the western sand hill or the southern sand hill.After that,the wind would be affected by the southern sand hill,northern sand hill and eastern sand hill in turn.Finally the wind would overflow the scenic spots of Crescent Moon Spring through the airport.Compared with the former,the direction of the second local circulation was opposite.Through the analysis of the data of sand hill,the author found that only the height of eastern sand hill was decreasing,while others were increasing.
