Abstract
This study selected the two adjacent eddy covariance observational towers at the FPV in Yangzhong, Jiangsu Province of China to explore the issue. The results indicated that the percent frequency of east wind lower 4 m·s-1 at 2 m decreased by 25.3% in FPV site compared with the REF site. The FPV array have a heating effect on the ambient. The average air temperature difference in two sites at 2 m and 10 m are 0.3 K and 0.1 K during the heating period. The net radiation increased by 47.8 W·m-2 in two sites. Sensible heat is increased by 7.9 W·m-2 due to the heating effect. Latent heat in the two sites are contrary to the sensible heat (-13.0 W·m-2). The difference of the water storage heat is 32.18 W·m-2, which implies the water absorbs higher heat in the FPV site than the REF site. This work illustrated the importance of observational experiments to animate process-based understanding combined with FPV systems. It further provides the scientific basis to establish the FPV energy balance models based on the observation that may be used to reveal the impact of utility-scale FPV deployment on climatic effects.
