就国家能源局“十四五”能源发展规划的建议
2020年11月,国家能源局就第十四个(2021-2025)五年能源规划公开征求意见。我们获悉此消息后在极短的时间内做出了响应,本文在初始回复的基础上进行了修改和完善。我们主要针对能源规划中的电力规划环节提供了一些思路和建议。电力规划是考虑经济高效,清洁可靠的资源组合的重要平台。 制定退煤规划 鉴于中国政府最近宣布的(2030年前)碳达峰和2060年的脱碳目标,五年规划的一个关键主题应该是如何让电力行业走上一条远离燃煤发电的坚定转型之路。本文将基于国际经验和我们对中国正在进行的电改工作的理解,简要分享一些关于如何实现这一目标的建议。… View Summary +

交通领域电气化转型的政策工具选择
要想实现交通运输领域的电气化转型,合理规划、采取激励措施、扫清障碍以及建立正确的监管框架都是必要条件。但不同地区的农村和城市生活方式各不相同,需要各自寻找适合自身的解决方案。睿博能源智库(RAP)的Camille Kadoch总结了我们为美国订制的RAP电动汽车路线图,提供了一套可供自由组合的政策工具包,涵盖了目标、资金来源、政策协调、激励措施(包括非财政激励)、充电建筑规范、与电力公司的合作、政策指南、立法模型等。它还包括一个powerpoint演示文稿,以便于向决策者和公民解释各种选择。Kadoch在文章最后引述研究报告称,交通领域的电气化转型每年可创造10万个以上的净新增就业岗位,每年可拉动GDP增长25亿至99亿美元。这对于任何希望走出疫情阴云恢复经济的国家来说都是非常有用的。虽然该工具包是为美国决策者开发制定的,但任何地区的决策者都可以参考。 交通部门的电气化为各国提供了一个契机,可以为公民节省燃料开支,改善地方经济,解决国家安全问题,改善公共卫生和应对气候变化。… View Summary +

Offshore-Windenergie als europäische Ressource
Die Stromerzeugung durch Offshore-Windkraftanlagen ist eine besondere Form des Strombezugs, weil es bisher nur wenige Erzeugungsanlagen und auch nur einzelne Stromleitungen gibt. Sogenannte Offshore-Netze – insbesondere zwischen den EU-Staaten – gibt es bisher nicht. Diese Tatsache birgt aber auch eine… View Summary +

储能如何参与市场?
- Fredrich (Fritz) Kahrl ,
- Wang Xuan ,
- Max Dupuy
正如世界上其他国家一样,中国电力行业要走向零碳发展的未来,需要有灵活性资源的支持。储能,特别是电化学储能,由于近年来成本大幅度降低,以及其多重应用价值,前景越来越光明。并网储能能够成本有效地发挥帮助可再生能源并网、提高剩余火电厂运行效率、提供调峰调频等辅助服务、管理电网阻塞、替代输配电设施、抑制价格波动等作用。根据CNESA储能项目库的统计,到2019年底,中国已投运储能项目累计装机32.3 GW, 其中抽水蓄能约30GW,电化学储能约1.6 GW。最近的一些… View Summary +
