储热：电供热发展的关键环节，电价机制如何优化配套？
近日，北京城市副中心的绿心公园通过了国内外两项碳中和认证，成为北京市首个“全域零碳公园”。其中，园区的供热系统采用分布式光伏+地源热泵+水储热模式，将绿电利用到极致。储热作为热泵的“好搭档”，在各地低碳、零碳园区也相继涌现。 View Summary +
分时电价向前迈步，动态尖峰电价贴近需求
随着中国能源需求的不断增长以及可再生能源的大规模并网，平衡能源供需的挑战将日益增长。在可再生能源主导的电力系统中，保障电力系统安全稳定经济运行面临着全新挑战。电力系统不仅需要满足静态的“迎峰度夏”和“迎峰度冬”中的高峰用电需求，更需要妥善处理日间净负荷波动对电网的影响。解决这些挑战的一个重要手段是拓宽现有思路，积极探索费率设计和需求侧管理等政策的迭代，制定能够反映电网供需变化的动态智能电价体系。 View Summary +
