“双碳”目标下传统火电面临的挑战与对策

Challenges and countermeasures of traditional thermal power under the goals of carbon neutrality and carbon peaking

“双碳”目标下,电力行业的低碳发展面临严峻挑战。通过梳理国外碳中和目标及采取的路径和措施,结合我国“双碳”目标及预期路径,分析了传统火电企业面临的可再生能源消纳、传统火电退役困难等问题。传统火电结合储能技术可提升灵活性,满足电力系统运行的稳定性;传统火电可融合化工产业及碳捕获、利用与封存(CCUS)技术等构建火电新型产业链。传统火电转型发展关乎国家能源安全与民生保障,在可再生能源快速发展过程中应克服新能源消纳和储能障碍,同时,火电的兜底作用和基荷作用不可忽视。

To achieve the goals of carbon neutrality and carbon peak,there are stern challenges confronted by power industry in its low-carbon transformation.Combing the goals and countermeasures taken by foreign countries and regions,the difficulties faced by traditional thermal power enterprises in renewable energy consumption and old unit decommissioning are analyzed.Combination traditional thermal power plants with energy storage technology can enhance their operation flexibility and stabilize the whole power system.Integrating traditional thermal power with chemical industry,CCUS and other new technologies can build a new thermal power industry chain.The transformation and development of traditional thermal power is related to national energy security and people's livelihood.Thus,in the rapid development of renewable energy,the obstacles of new energy consumption and energy storage should be overcome,and the role of thermal power as safeguard and base load is unignorable.
