Research on power-supply cost of regional power system under carbon-peak target

Abstract

With the establishment of the carbon-peak target by 2030, the direction of carbon emission reduction in China’s energy system has been further clarified. As the industry with the largest proportion of carbon emissions in China, the low- carbon transformation of the electric power industry is critical to realize the carbon-peak target. Current research mostly focuses on technical analysis or system cost accounting of the carbon-peak realization path at the national level. There is a lack of targeted research on regional power systems with complex inter-regional power flow exchange and limited energy resource development. Simultaneously, the calculation of the system cost lacks the perspective of the life cycle and ignores the inertia of the stock and change inertia of incremental disturbance. From the perspective of the life cycle, this study proposes a calculation model of power supply cost for regional power systems according to the carbon-peak target, analyzes the realization path of the carbon target from an economic perspective, and provides references for the path selection and policy formulation of system transformation
