在中国“十四五”严格控制煤电增长和“十五五”之后逐步退煤的大背景下,如何更好地利用包括清洁能源、需求侧管理和储能资源提升电力供应保障能力,以及通过增强省间余缺调剂能力,实现大范围资源优化配置,是中央政府密切关注的话题。解决这些问题的一个重要前提是建立更科学、透明和理性的流程来定期考查资源充足性,并以透明的方式使得区域和省级电力行业决策者和相关方对资源充足性规划要求达成一致,从而指导投资决策和促进电力市场资源竞争。 国际上,针对不同的问题和要实现的目标,存在许多种电力规划。我们结合国际经验并针对一些细节给出些简单的想法和建议。这些建议集中在角色和责任、规划周期和时间跨度、负荷预测、设定可靠性目标、确定规划备用容量、报告和透明度几个方面,希望能对政策制定者有所帮助.

The electrification of mobility is in full swing. As electric vehicles (EV) become ever more popular, public charging points are spreading – their numbers have doubled in the last two years in the EU. But public charging points alone will… View Summary +
Die Gasindustrie investiert aktuell, was das Zeug hält. 2019 flossen rund 2,5 Milliarden Euro in den Aus- und Neubau der deutschen Gasnetze (BNetzA Monitoring-Bericht). Bis 2030 sind laut Netzentwicklungsplan Gas allein für die Ferngasnetze weitere 2,2 Milliarden Euro vorgesehen,… View Summary +
近来,国家发改委发布的《关于进一步完善分时电价机制的通知》,旨在改善目前已有的分时电价机制并将其作用范围扩展到几乎所有用户。这是中国在“碳达峰、碳中和”背景下为促进能源低碳发展,向以新能源为主的新型电力系统转变迈出的重要一步。 国际社会对分时零售电价的益处已经有了越来越多的共识。然而,关于如何完善分时零售电价还有许多讨论。在本文中,基于对欧美等国政策支持的经验,我们为中国提出了几点关于设计和实施分时零售电价的建议。这包括更精准地设计分时零售电价从而更好地反映电力系统成本;对其他形式更灵活的分时零售电价开展试点,进一步解锁需求侧灵活性;以及加强零售市场监管,为零售商推出的电价套餐给予更多的政策指导。 作为支持新型电力系统的一个关键要素,分时电价需要和电力体制改革中的其他政策相结合,特别地,电力批发市场(包括现货市场)的建设和发展应该为更好地形成公开透明的价格信号起到推动作用。而在没有现货市场的地区,分时上网电价可以更好地反映发电侧的成本,从而在短期内,为过渡到更有效的金融合同和更高效的电力调度提供机会。 本文(精简版)首发于南方能源观察 (2021年11月2日)… View Summary +
The first ten months of 2021 have seen dramatic increases in energy prices in Europe and elsewhere. Experts now agree that the surging international demand for liquified natural gas and the rise in gas prices are driving electricity prices to… View Summary +
