In late March, the National Development and Reform Council (NDRC) and the National Energy Administration (NEA) jointly issued Guidance on Improving Power Sector Operation to Enable More Generation and Full Generation of Clean Energy. This document followed… View Summary +

声明：睿博能源智库于2015年3月28日刊登在“中国电力报”的专访“寻找安全可靠成本经济解决方案”，以及特稿“将能效作为发电厂的能源资源”，由于某些原因，未能准确反映我们的观点，现将应刊登稿件发布如下，以作澄清。 中国电力报: 您对这份方案的总体感觉是什么？可以进行一个总体评价吗？… View Summary +

Competitive wholesale power markets are designed to sustain needed investment through market participants hedging risks in response to transparent pricing in the energy and ancillary services markets. But in practice, it’s been a challenge to realize market prices fully reflective… View Summary +

Since the rule’s proposal in June 2014, Clean Power Plan compliance discussions have been weighing the potential benefits of regional versus single-state approaches, and balancing possible lower program costs and administrative burdens against state concerns over compromising sovereignty. More recently,… View Summary +

The Chinese government has just finalized Deepening Reform of the Power Sector, a policy document co-signed by the Central Committee of the Communist Party and the State Council. The Chinese media have anticipated this document for months,… View Summary +

The Government of India has significantly revised its ambitions for renewable electricity, now aiming for 100 GW of solar energy by 2022, and 40 GW of wind by 2019. This is a huge leap in ambition and puts this fast-growing… View Summary +

Every year states invest more than $6 billion in energy efficiency programs, which also improve air quality. Yet, states rarely receive any credit for the resulting emissions reductions! The benefits don’t stop with air quality. Energy efficiency not only reduces… View Summary +

States asked the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for flexibility in crafting plans to meet the requirements of the proposed Clean Power Plan (also known as 111(d), after the pertinent section of the Clean Air Act), and EPA listened. EPA’s… View Summary +

2010年以来中国发布了一系列综合且严厉的措施来改善空气质量，其中国务院于2013年9月颁布的《大气污染防治行动计划》标志着里程碑。这些措施包括制定对区域空气质量达标计划、设定禁煤区，承诺煤炭消费总量控制、重点城市具体污染物减排目标的要求，例如北京，上海和广东。所有338个重点城市和县级以上政府都需要制定空气质量达标计划或者实施2013年后生效的计划。 这些计划的跨度和严格程度空前所有。与中国不同，美国和欧洲从四十年代到七十年代遭受严重污染所困扰的时候，他们每次只针对一个污染物，例如，首先处理烟雾，或者汽车污染，之后酸雨，然后是流动性空气污染。中国迅速的发展同时伴随着公众健康和科学知识的进步，要求在同一时间解决所有的污染从而阻止目前正在发生的对健康和环境的影响进一步恶化。幸运的是，最近的数据显示，结合能效和改善能源消费的多污染物协同治理的方式是具有高成本效益的，特别是和注重终端排放治理的方法对比而言。… View Summary +

尽管就中国可再生能源存在海量的文献，但人们对中国电力行业基本机构的设置和运行，及其如何构成可再生能源扩展和并网的约束，缺乏足够的了解。本篇文章作为三个技术启蒙读本之一，旨在填补这一空白，文章主要针对电力系统的运作—在电力系统物理限制下匹配电力需求和供应展开论述。 中国电力系统在经济、社会、政治的综合作用下逐渐演变，最终形成了独特的运作机构和运行模式。设计这些机构和运行模式，用于支持主要由重工业需求主导和煤电作为基荷的电力系统。其中许多地方需要做出改变，来接纳充满活力的中国经济日益多元化的需求，并实现政府基于大量可变的风电和太阳能发电的低碳电力供应远景。 本文指出目前电力系统的运行没有达到系统在更高比例风电和太阳能下所需要的灵活性的需求。特别地，年度发电量计划、行政性的负荷控制、跨区和跨省电量交易安排、缺乏透明的调度系统阻碍了可再生能源的有效利用。因此，本文为朝向更具有灵活性的电力系统迈进，提出以下几点建议： 实现省级以及跨省平衡区内更经济的发电机组排序和调度； 建立更符合电力系统需要的辅助服务定义和规则；… View Summary +
