IEEE OFCCT 2023: Keynote 2.3: Power System Transition: A Carbon Perspective

China has set up the country's carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals. Power system transition from fossil-energy-dominated to a low-carbon clean energy system is essential. This brings severe challenges for China's power sector. This presentation plans to discuss the theory and method of low-carbon power systems from the perspective of carbon emission. From the view of carbon metering and tracing, based on the IPCC principles of measurable, reportable and verifiable, this presentation will discuss the carbon metering and tracing methods for power systems with the consideration of full carbon emission links and the spatial-temporal correlations of carbon flow. From the view of carbon planning and trajectory, the presentation will discuss the low carbon transition pathway of power system considering the source-grid-demand-storage coordination and the drive of carbon emission constraint. From the view of carbon reduction and optimizing, the presentation will discuss the carbon reduction benefit and coordination of different low-carbon electrical techniques. From the view of carbon market and trading, this presentation will discuss the correlation and coordination of electricity market and carbon market.
