A Method for Carbon Emission Measurement and a Carbon Reduction Path of Urban Power Sector

Abstract

To measure and reduce carbon emissions in the urban power sector, a method for measuring carbon emissions in the urban power sector and a carbon reduction path are proposed. First, a carbon emission measurement model for the urban power sector is established based on the data of local power generation and net inward power. Then, carbon reduction measures for the urban power sector are proposed from the generation side, grid side, load side and energy storage side. After that, an evaluation model for the effect of the carbon reduction measures is established. Finally, taking a typical city F in the Pearl River Delta as an example, the proposed carbon emission calculation model is used to calculate the carbon emissions of power sector of the city, and the effectiveness of carbon reduction in 2030 carbon peak scenario of the city is evaluated based on the carbon reduction measures. The results show that the proposed model can accurately measure the carbon emissions of the urban power sector, and by utilizing carbon reduction measures, carbon emissions of the city can be reduced by at least 10.6 million tons in 2030.
