Chapter 701: Super Project!

So far, Yang Jie believes that the only countries in the Middle East that are most likely to industrialize are Turkey and Iran, which have very similar populations, with Iran having a population of 70 million and both having endogenous economic capacity.

But there is only this possibility, Iran's main export product is oil, and more than half of Tehran's industries are located in Tehran, including automobiles, electronics, electrical appliances, equipment, military industry, cement and chemical industries, and the basic needs of the country can be met.

Turkey's industrial base was formed in the late Ottoman Empire, after nearly a hundred years of development after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the industrial categories are relatively complete, and the advantageous areas mainly include clothing and footwear, electronic processing, steel, automobiles, ceramics, etc., but in terms of automobiles and electronic processing, it is mainly to undertake the industrial transfer of Germany and these European countries, mainly assembly and processing, and the added value of products is not high.

With only 9.2 million people in the UAE and only 3 million permanent residents in Dubai, only one-fifth of the native-born locals, these 18-year-old adult men have to vouch for at least 50 companies, and a local can collect millions of dirhams a year for premiums alone.

Dubaiites have no pension, just collecting premiums is enough for a lifetime, plus free housing, free medical care, and free education, it can be said that 80% of foreigners feed 20% of Dubaiese.

The manufacturing industry is not an easy job, these local already pampered grandfathers are naturally unwilling to do, without this engineering and technical personnel, Dubai to achieve industrialization can only be an illusory thing.

This is also the real reason why Yang Jie agreed.

He knew that a forward-looking and determined person like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Caliph had spent nearly two decades transforming Dubai, but no other Middle Eastern country had such a leader.

Dubai is determined to make the UAE the largest renewable energy supplier in the Middle East, which is indeed a super project, and because the UAE is a hot desert climate, it rarely rains, the sun is shining all year round, there are only two seasons in the year - summer and winter, the annual precipitation is about 100 mm, and concentrated in winter, there are occasional strong winds and dust curtains, and the development of solar energy is also the biggest natural environmental advantage.

Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Caliph is determined to develop solar energy, and has taken a fancy to Huaxing Group's technology in solar cells, he only wanted to build a small solar power station in this area to carry out various technical reserves, but now it is an excellent opportunity to achieve large-scale mass production!

In particular, it is also a major opportunity for solar cells prepared from gallium nitride materials, and now the solar sail panels of the R&D center of Huaxia Satellite Communications Company have increased the photoelectric conversion efficiency of gallium nitride to 48%!

The year before last, the R&D center used monocrystalline gallium nitride materials to prepare the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar panels reached 37%, which is already the most efficient solar cell in the world.

At present, the maximum conversion efficiency of monocrystalline silicon solar cells is only 18%, and the R&D center uses stacking technology on the basis of monocrystalline gallium nitride materials, mainly including arsenic gallium ride, indium phosphide and gallium nitride, etc., which are superimposed on each other, and each sub-cell can convert sunlight in a certain wavelength range particularly effectively, so that the solar panel developed by the R&D center achieves a very high photoelectric conversion efficiency.

In addition, Huaxing Group also has a temperature difference battery research and development department, through the temperature difference battery can achieve the cooling of solar panels without power consumption, can also achieve power generation, although the conversion efficiency is less than 10%, but also maximize the use of solar energy, the key is that the cost of temperature difference battery is very low at this stage, and the life is very long.

Huaxing Group also obtained a patent for the temperature difference battery technology based on supercooled melt from a long-established heater family enterprise in Germany, and Huaxing Group has also developed a temperature difference battery suitable for desert areas on this basis, which can store heat energy for a long time without loss to meet the basic power needs of the solar power station itself.

Yang Jie said to the Crown Prince of the Caliph: "Your Royal Highness, Dubai is blessed with unique high-radiation solar energy, and the development of solar energy is quite competitive. However, if due to the harsh local climatic conditions, the solar panels do not operate well, and the service life is less than the expected 25 years, the profitability of the project will still be greatly reduced, so our company will provide a small solar power station as soon as possible to operate here for one to two years to solve various engineering and technical problems, I hope that our company's equipment will achieve efficient and reliable long-term operation, can withstand the high temperature and sandstorms and other bad weather in Dubai, and it is not too late to promote it on a large scale after reaching these goals. ”

"After that, we will set up a solar panel production plant in Dubai to provide Dubai with stable and reliable product technology and gradually reduce the cost of products. ”

"I can assure His Highness the Crown Prince of the Caliphate that in 10 years, our company will reduce the cost to a very reasonable price range, so that the cost of solar power generation is lower than the cost of natural gas power generation, and after 10 years, the company will try to reduce the price of electricity by about $60 per megawatt hour, making solar energy the cheapest way to generate electricity in the world," Yang Jie said. ”

He looked at the Crown Prince of the Caliph and said: "Your Royal Highness, Europe is now very dependent on natural gas, if the installed capacity of Dubai reaches 54GW in 20 years, and Dubai's annual revenue from solar energy can reach tens of billions of US dollars, I can guarantee that the investment scale of this project will not exceed 200 billion US dollars, and that Dubai can recover its costs within ten years." ”

The caliph opened his mouth and asked, "Mr. Yang, can your company really do this?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Caliph, solar cell products are very similar to the chip industry, as long as large-scale mass production is achieved, the price will naturally drop quickly. Now our Huaxing Group can design and produce the core components of solar cells by ourselves, and the production capacity can keep up, which is not a particularly difficult thing for our company. ”

Yang Jie said confidently.

"Others say that Mr. Yang is a technical genius, and since you are so confident, then my confidence is even stronger. ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Caliph laughed.

Yang Jie also smiled, the construction of solar cell power station is only part of this project, in addition to the construction of ultra-high voltage transmission network through the desert area to do, such a transmission project Huaxing Group is also to grab a big cake.
