BEIJING, Aug. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- With the continuous advancement of modern agriculture technology, apple industry in Weihai City of east China's Shandong Province has undergone a tremendous change, according to a recent report by Weihai Daily, after the local media's visit to the Xinyuan Modern Apple Planting Demonstration Base in the city to experience the charm of modern orchards infused with cutting-edge technology. In the base, it's witnessed that an orchard brimming with technological features including integrated water and fertilizer irrigation facilities, online environment monitoring systems, visual management systems, and big data management centers. There, staff can monitor soil temperature and humidity as well as pest and disease conditions in real-time through computers or smartphones, greatly improving the comprehensive agricultural production capacity. The base's 80 mu (around 5.33 hectares) of apple orchards are planted with 20 apple varieties and these apples are about to enter the peak production period, said Qu Jiashuai, the person in charge of the base adding that all apple yields per mu can reach 4,000 to 5,000 kilograms, which is twice the yield of traditional orchards. In addition, with the help of self-propelled picking platforms, the picking efficiency has been significantly improved, with one person able to pick 500 kilograms of apples a day. Last year, local authorities established an apple production technology and innovation center at the orchid. The center serves not only as a highland of technology but also as a cradle for talent cultivation. The city has carried out a series of discussions related to the apple industry and held various internships and training activities to cultivate talents and conduct experimental research, injecting new vitality into the high-quality development of the industry. Up to now, the apple cultivation area in the city has reached 700,000 mu (nearly 46,666.67 hectares), with an output of 1.1 million tonnes. Among them, the apple cultivation area with the modern technology accounts for 330,000 mu (nearly 20,000 hectares), according to the report. Original link: https://en.imsilkroad.com/p/341852.html
KYOTO, Japan, Aug. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Trinasolar, a global leader in smart photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage solutions, is proud to announce the commercial operation of its latest agrivoltaics project in Fukuchiyama, Kyoto Prefecture. Developed by its International System Business Unit (ISBU) arm, which specializes in the production and delivery of utility-scale solar projects for the global market, this large-scale initiative represents a significant milestone for its operations in the Japanese market, demonstrating the potential of agrivoltaics to harmonize renewable energy production with agricultural activities. Trinasolar's agrivoltaics project in Kyoto, Japan The Fukuchiyama project utilizes 3,392 of Trinasolar's ultra-high power Vertex N 720W series modules (TSM-690NEG21C.20), incorporating the latest 210mm wafer technology and high-efficiency n-type i-TOPCon cells. These state-of-the-art modules are designed to maximize energy output, with maximum efficiency of 23.2%, maintaining low levelized cost of electricity (LCOE). As a result, the project is expected to generate 2,700MWh of clean energy annually, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 1,760 tons each year. Empowering Agrivoltaics – Trinasolar's PV+ Model The project is a prime example of agrivoltaics, where agricultural land is used for both crop production and solar energy generation. In this case, the solar farm supports the cultivation of Japanese yam, also known as ebi-imo, a crop native to the region. With its low light saturation point, Japanese yam thrives beneath the shade of the solar module. In addition, it depends heavily on soil moisture, and is typically grown in paddy fields. The shade provided by the modules reduces soil moisture evaporation, ensuring the crops have sufficient water for growth. Trinasolar's innovative "PV+" model is key to this success. The modules are mounted at a minimum height of 2.35 meters above the ground, with rows spaced to allow the use of agricultural machinery like tractors and rotary tillers. This careful design ensures that agricultural operations can continue seamlessly beneath the modules, fostering sustainable land use and contributing to the local economy. As Japan seeks to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, the Japan Photovoltaic Energy Association (JPEA) has projected that one-quarter of the country's solar power generation will come from agricultural land. Trinasolar's agrivoltaics project in Kyoto stands as a testament to the viability of this approach, demonstrating how renewable energy can support other critical industries, such as agriculture, in the pursuit of a net-zero future. This innovative agrivoltaics project underscores Trinasolar's commitment to supporting Japan's clean energy goals while contributing positively to the environment and local communities. As agrivoltaics gains momentum worldwide, this project serves as a valuable demonstration of sustainable land use practices, offering insights for future developments in the field and paving the way for a sustainable future.
