Abstract

The article discusses the state and prospects for development of solar power plants with concentrators and their current-voltage characteristics, as well as the placement of solar modules in various positions; in addition, their technical and economic indicators are provided. The suggested project of a solar photovoltaic power plant in the Karakum Desert allows saving organic fuel and has the following performance features: the power is 1 GW, the annual electricity output is 1.3 to 1.7 billion kW h, and the power plant costs one billion Euros. This power plant is meant to supply electricity to consumption sites along HV DC power lines without using HV transducers and transformers at the transmitting substation to the neighbor states of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and Turkey.
