Abstract:

In order to achieve green and low-carbon development and improve its competitiveness in the new power system in the future, the coal-fired power generation industry urgently needs to undergo transformation and reform. This is due to the joint requirement of accelerating the construction of ecological civilization and the goal of "carbon peak and carbon neutralization". In this paper, three major challenges facing the coal-fired power generation industry in reducing carbon emissions in the context of "dual carbon" were discussed, including the traditional design parameters of the coal-fired power generation industry, the installed capacity of new energy sources, and the security of the power system. In order to assure the security of power system supply, the coal-fired power generation industry should transition from supplying base load power supply to regulatory power supply and take on the roles of "Ballast Stone" and "Stabilizer" in the new power system. In order to solve the contradiction between the stability of the power system and low-carbon development, the low-carbon development path of the coal-fired power generation industry must be analyzed from multiple perspectives. Then, the paths that the coal power industry can follow for the development of a low-carbon transition were examined from various angles, including those related to coal-fired generation units, coal fuel and combustion, clean coal power generation technology, carbon capture, carbon trading, and spot trading, providing various reference points for the coal-fired power industry to simultaneously carry out the development of a low-carbon emission reduction transition. At the same time, in the context of "Dual Carbon", it will strive for more survival opportunities for the coal power industry, which is undergoing a challenging phase-out. It is worth noting that these low-carbon transformation and development paths also need the relevant government departments to introduce relevant policies to provide support, such as regular government-enterprise co-operation, the coal-fired power generation industry can achieve high-efficiency, green and low-carbon transformation and development as soon as possible.
