Interpretatie van compensatie voor energieopslagcentrales van China Southern Power Grid

Can China decarbonize the southern power grid by 2060?

Decarbonization of the Southern Power Grid in China is feasible by 2060 but requires converting a large cropland area to support solar and wind energy; expansion of hydropower will impact the transboundary rivers according to a power system optimization model set up for 2020–2060.

How to simulate the long-term development of the CSPG's electricity system?

To simulate the long-term development of the CSPG’s electricity system, we used an open-source power system modeling platform (GridPath) 26, 53.

Does China have a multi-region power dispatch and capacity expansion model?

Additionally, more detailed regional division is developed in this study to reflect the diversities in resource endowments and power demand between different areas of China. In this study, a Chinese multi-region power dispatch and capacity expansion model is developed from a long-term perspective.

Which river basins feed the China Southern power grid (CSPG)?

b The map illustrates the river basins whose hydropower dams feed the China Southern Power Grid (CSPG). These basins are the Mekong, Nujiang, and Red (transboundary) and the Yangtze, Pearl, Qionglei and Southeast Guangxi Coastal river basins (QSGCRB). All riparian countries in which the transboundary basins ow are shown on the map.

Will inter-regional power transmission control emissions in central and eastern China?

When there is more stringent regional emissions reduction policy, inter-regional power transmission will still play a role in controlling the emissions in central and eastern China.

How will China's power sector perform compared to BAU scenario?

The national total capacities of wind power, solar power, and biomass power increase by 122 GW, 41 GW, and 43 GW, respectively, compared with BAU scenario. The rapid development of renewable energy also raises the total costs for China’s power sector.
