Publish Time:2022-10-18 Sources:
A tidal flat photovoltaic power station is a photovoltaic project that applies photovoltaic power generation technology to the tidal flat area. At present, the photovoltaic power generation technology is very mature, the cost of photovoltaic power generation is decreasing year by year, and the service life of photovoltaic power plants can reach about 25 years. Due to the advantages of less shelter and abundant solar energy resources in the tidal flat area, coupled with the difficulty of developing common projects in the tidal flat area, the construction of photovoltaic power plants is the best of both worlds. So what are tidal flats? How to build a photovoltaic power station in the tidal flat area, the editor will introduce to you the things about the tidal flat photovoltaic power station today!

What is a tidal flat?
Tidal flat is a general term for beach, river beach and lake beach, which refers to the tidal flooding zone between the high tide level and the low tide level of the coastal spring, the beach land between the normal water level of rivers and lakes to the flood level, the beach land below the seasonal lake and river flood level, reservoirs and pits. The area of the beach between the normal water level of the pond and the maximum flood level. Now tidal flats generally refer to coastal tidal flats.
China's tidal flats are mainly distributed in the coastal areas of Liaoning, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Taiwan, Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan, and are an important part of the coastal zone. The total area of marine tidal flats in my country is 2.1704 million hectares.
In the modern era when land resources are increasingly scarce, how to develop and utilize tidal flats, as an important reserve land resource in my country, is a question worth pondering. The tidal flats in my country have the characteristics of large area, concentrated distribution, good location conditions and great potential for comprehensive development of agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery. The tidal flat is a sea-land transition zone in dynamic change. If it develops towards the land, through reclamation and diversion of salt, it can quickly form the land for farming, animal husbandry, fishery and livestock production; if it develops towards the sea, it can further become the frontier for the development of the sea. The tidal flat is an important base for aquaculture and the development of agricultural production. It is a valuable asset for the development of the ocean and the marine industry. In the tidal flat area, tidal flat photovoltaic power stations such as fishery and light complementation can also be built.

Is a tidal flat land or sea?
Is the tidal flat land or sea? How to confirm the right to use the tidal flat? This has always been a difficult problem for developers and developers who invest in building photovoltaic power plants.
The tidal flat is an out-of-the-ordinary geographical concept, and there is a method for distinguishing and determining it in geography. But the legal concept of tidal flat is the definition of its social attributes. First, whether the tidal flat belongs to the sea area or the land determines whether the land use can be determined on the tidal flat according to the current law, that is, whether the tidal flat, as a natural form, can be used as the object of legal property rights; further, if it can be used as the object of property rights, What kind of property rights should be the object? Second, where is the legal boundary between tidal flats and land or sea? This determines the boundary of the tidal flat as an object category of property rights, and also determines the scope of application of the relevant laws.
The definition of tidal flats is different between the marine administrative department and the land and resources department. The marine administrative department defines the tidal flat as the sea area below the average high tide line and above the low tide line, and the land and resources management department defines the coastal tidal flat as the tidal flooding zone between the high tide level and the low tide level of the coastal spring. It is not difficult to see that both departments define tidal flats as belonging to land and an integral part of the sea.
According to the current law and the land classification approved by the State Council, tidal flats belong to the category of land, and the land management department has always managed tidal flats as land. Article 2 of the Implementing Regulations of the Land Administration Law stipulates: "The following land is owned by the whole people, that is, owned by the state: (4) Forest land, grassland, wasteland, tidal flat and other land that are not collectively owned by law." According to Article 48 of the Property Law, "Forests, mountains, grasslands, wasteland, tidal flats and other natural resources are owned by the state, except those that are collectively owned by law." Tidal flats exist in two forms, state and collective. Units or individuals may also obtain the right to use tidal flats in accordance with the law.
However, after our country's law defines tidal flats as land, there is no clear boundary between land and sea areas. The scope of tidal flats defined by some existing local laws and regulations often exceeds the low tide line and extends into the shallow sea. For example, Article 3 of the Regulations on the Protection and Management of Aquaculture in Shallow Beaches of Guangdong Province stipulates: "The tidal flats referred to in these Regulations refer to the intertidal zones that can be used for mariculture and the mariculture areas or other deserted beaches connected to the intertidal zones; but The scope of the port area is excluded." It is clearly stipulated that the tidal flat extends to the mariculture area connected to the intertidal zone. For another example, Article 16 of the Regulations on the Administration of Tidal Flats in Shanghai stipulates: "The land formed by encircling tidal flats is owned by the state." From the literal meaning of these regulations, tidal flats are different from land, otherwise there would be no "tidal flats". the formation of land". However, from the original intention of the legislation, the tidal flat in its provisions mainly refers to the part submerged below the sea water.
The legal boundary between my country's land and sea areas should be the low tide line of sea water. The legal tidal flat, as a form of land, should only refer to its part above the low-tide line, and its natural extension in the shallow sea below the low-tide line, and should legally belong to the sea area rather than land.

What should be paid attention to in the site selection of tidal flat photovoltaic power stations?
1. It is necessary to clarify the land nature of the site, the status of the right to use, and whether it is included in the land use plan;
2. For sites with large height difference and deep ponds, the nature and scale of open and filled slopes that may be generated after site leveling should be evaluated;
3. Reasonably evaluate the geological structure and seismic effect; evaluate the hydrogeological conditions of the site and adjacent areas;
4. It is also necessary to clarify the elevation of the top of the tidal flat and seawall;
5. Determine the cultural conditions and transportation conditions around the site.
6. It is necessary to do a good job in the preliminary planning and design and the drainage and flood control work during the construction process.
7. It is necessary to comprehensively determine the corrosiveness of site water to concrete structures and steel bars in reinforced concrete structures in combination with local geological conditions;
8. The natural terrain in the site is relatively low, and if necessary, a qualified unit is entrusted to carry out the flood control evaluation of the construction project;
9. The site selection should fully consider the impact of natural conditions on the equipment and personnel of the photovoltaic power station. For example, if measures are not taken for adverse geological conditions, and regular maintenance is not performed during operation, tides, waterlogging, wind disasters, lightning, salt spray, and humidity may occur. , tropical cyclones, corrosion and other adverse natural conditions lead to the collapse of photovoltaic power plants, equipment damage, casualties and other situations.

Construction should pay attention to what?
Construction in the tidal flat geology, the site construction conditions are poor, which brings great difficulty to the pile foundation construction. Due to the large amount of piles and the fast construction speed, the piles are affected by the extrusion of the soil, and the driven piles will be affected by the left and right deviation. In this regard, try to use the vertical line to control the verticality of the pile during the pressing process after the pile driver is in place. During the construction, the pile will settle down to a certain extent, and the pile will not go down again. sink.

Quality issues that should be paid attention to in the construction of pile foundation
a. Pile body cracking: The eccentricity of the pile tip is large, the stabilizing pile is not vertical, the concrete strength is not enough, and the pile body has cracks. Clean the underground obstacles, correct the pile frame, check the strength, and prevent cracking during transportation and hoisting.
b. The depth of the piles cannot reach the design requirements: the geological data is not clear enough to make the design selection of the pile length wrong, and the geological exploration is carried out to correctly select the bearing layer or elevation.
c. Tilt of the pile body: In case of large hard obstacles and uneven soil density, timely correct the verticality of the pile, clear the underground obstacles, and adjust the pile pressing sequence.
d. Leakage piles and pile position deviation: Construction management should be strengthened to take preventive measures. The staked piles should be checked at multiple levels, and the positioning piles should be checked one by one to prevent leakage of piles. After piling, a comprehensive review should be carried out to confirm that there is no error before evacuation.

Epilogue
In today's increasingly serious environmental problems, how to protect the environment from being destroyed is a common global pursuit. Will the construction of photovoltaic power stations in the tidal flat area damage the local ecological environment? Industry professionals explained that when building a tidal flat photovoltaic power station, because the photovoltaic square array of the power station is constructed in an overhead form, although the staggered arrangement of the photovoltaic square array will completely block the sunlight, it does not block all the sunlight. Moreover, the tidal flat organisms are scattered, so it will not have much impact on the original ecological environment of the tidal flat. Secondly, photovoltaic power generation is clean energy and will not pollute the environment. Third, the construction of photovoltaic power stations can reduce the use of fossil fuels, reduce air pollution, and improve the local ecological environment.
