How should wind PV be adapted to new power systems?


"It is expected that the proportion of wind power generation will increase from 9.3% in 2020 to 22.5% in 2030; the proportion of coal power will decrease from 61.3% in 2020 to 47.5% in 2030."

On August 8, the "Electricity Low Carbon Transition Annual Conference 2023", organized by the China Energy Research Society and the China Electricity Council (hereinafter referred to as CEC) and co-sponsored by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), was held in Beijing, and three reports were released. Among them, the "Study on the Path of Constructing a New Type of Power System" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") conducted a study on the "three-step" strategy and development path of the new type of power system.

The above report is the result of the corresponding research topic under the framework of the "Electricity Roundtable" organized by the China Energy Research Association (CERA).

The report further predicts that by 2045, the share of wind power and coal power in China will be 43.3% and 23.4% respectively, and by 2060, the share of wind power will continue to increase to 62%, while coal power will decrease to 4%.

In addition, the Report points out that China's power system will enter a phase of system change in 2030-2045. In this stage, wind power development should gradually turn to regional local consumption and utilization, support offshore wind power to achieve leapfrog development; photovoltaic power generation gradually turn to light storage charging integration power supply, photovoltaic DC microgrid power supply and other local utilization.

At the end of 2022, China's renewable energy installed capacity reached 1.213 billion kilowatts, exceeding the country's coal power installed capacity for the first time in history, accounting for about 47.3% of the country's total installed power generation capacity.

In March 2021, the ninth meeting of the Central Finance and Economy Commission proposed for the first time to build a new power system "with new energy as the main body". In this construction process, wind power is the absolute main force. According to the third-party organization CINNO Research statistics, in the first half of this year, China's new energy project investment amounted to as much as 5.2 trillion yuan (including Taiwan), of which wind power photovoltaic investment amounted to about 2.5 trillion yuan, accounting for 46.9%.
