国家电网亮报记者就电网企业下属节能服务公司开展节能工作等问题采访了雷德威博士。访谈中通过回顾美国电力公司电力需求侧管理的历程总结出如何回收节能项目成本和激励电网企业的经验。雷德威博士认为目前中国电网公司组建节能服务公司来完成节能目标的模式有明显的优势，但是也面临着巨大的挑战，建议电网公司在人才和资金上给予充足的投入来确保节能服务公司的市场竞争力。… View Summary +

Demand response refers to the intentional modification of electricity usage by end-use customers during system imbalances or in response to market prices. While initially developed to help support electric system reliability during peak load hours, demand response resources currently provide… View Summary +

In the face of persistent air quality problems, as well as emerging air quality concerns, such as greenhouse gases and state budgetary constraints, states are looking for new ways to maximize air quality while minimizing costs. RAP’s Integrated, Multi-Pollutant Planning… View Summary +

In response to Chinese government initiatives promoting demand-side management and energy efficiency, grid companies, government agencies, and private sector companies have established data platforms to identify and verify energy savings. The energy use data collected by these data platforms will… View Summary +

为响应中国政府促进电力需求侧管理、提高能效的举措，中国电网公司、政府机构和私营企业纷纷在各地建立了节能数据平台，用来确定和验证节能量。数据平台所收集的能源使用数据，最终将形成一种宝贵的国家资源，提供对中国能源使用状况独到的见解。这些信息将提供至关重要的参考依据，帮助政府制定政策，在中国经济发展的同时，实现节能减排的战略目标。本文旨在对目前正在建立的各种数据平台该如何设置提出建议，以最大限度地发挥其有效性。… View Summary +

Much has been written about the meteoric rise of the Chinese and Indian economies, and it is well documented that this phenomenal growth has coincided with a massive expansion of thermoelectric power plants—power plants that either burn their fuels to… View Summary +

This paper appeared in Volume 24 of the Energy and Environment Journal. The authors identify key policy issues and options for an energy efficiency fed-in-tariff (EE FiT) design. While an EE FiT will not always be the best approach, its… View Summary +

Transmission resources have begun to figure more prominently in policy discussions as regions move to adopt more ambitious goals for clean energy supply from variable energy resources, such as wind and solar. The global body of experience related to expanding… View Summary +

This paper identifies sound practices in rate design applied around the globe using conventional metering technology. Rate design for most residential and small commercial customers (mass market consumers) is most often reflected in a simple monthly access charge and a… View Summary +

In this paper RAP assesses the suitability for tracking CO2 emissions associated with electricity imported into the RGGI region of two energy attribute tracking systems currently in use in the RGGI region. The paper explores the capacity of the Generation… View Summary +

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) Order 1000 makes great strides towards ensuring just and reasonable transmission rates and a level competitive playing field. It does this, in part, by requiring the consideration of non-transmission alternatives (NTAs) during regional transmission… View Summary +

在世界范围内，煤炭仍然是发电的主导燃料。煤炭的燃烧方式影响着污染物的排放率和总排放量。几十年来，许多国家为煤炭质量制订了一系列标准和细则，使得电厂经营者减少了运行和维护成本，改善了锅炉的热效率。高效率意味着同样发电量需要的煤炭投入减少，降低了二氧化碳、二氧化硫以及颗粒物的排放。改善煤质也减少了燃烧过程产生的固体废物，延长电厂寿命和减少其生态足迹。中国燃煤量居世界首位，煤质国际最佳实践这篇文章倡导中国采取行动提高煤质，并给出了如何实现这一目标的具体建议。… View Summary +

中国清洁空气联盟（CAAC）知识系列之一“空气污染应急机制国际经验”在回顾了中国2013年1月大面积遭遇灰霾天气而采取的应急方案之后，介绍了欧洲和美国污染应急领域所开展的工作和历程，并结合中国的空气污染情况为中国构建空气污染应急机制提出了建议。文中从空气质量的预测、空气污染警报服务、有效的污染控制措施三个方面来描述如何构建完备的空气污染应急系统。其中建议还包括需要不断完善长期的空气质量管理体系来最终杜绝极端污染天气。… View Summary +
