“…Some studies are also concerned with the market conditions and regulations of the wind energy industry [15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Lema and Ruby [17] argue that the Chinese wind turbine manufacturing industry could be divided into three phases: import phase, incremental phase, and coordinated phase.…”

Abstract:Wind energy has become a fast growing industry in China in the last decade. The development of the wind energy industry presents interesting policy questions. In the context of China, in additional to national energy policies, provincial policies were designed and implemented to stimulate the growth of wind power. This paper examines factors, especially provincial wind energy policies, in driving the growth of wind power capacity in the Chinese provinces. Statistical analysis with a longitudinal data set for wind power capacity in Chinese provinces from 2001 to 2012 reveals that the adoption of wind energy policies and a general energy plan at the provincial level are having positive effects on the growth of wind capacity in Chinese provinces.

“…ECER challenges [10]. There are several papers on China's ECER, and several papers on ECER in China's power sector focused on the construction of an evolution indicator system [11][12][13] and policy and technology analyses [14][15][16]. However, detailed quantitative research measuring the energy conservation potential of China's power sector is rare.…”

This paper discusses energy conservation and emissions reduction (ECER) in China's power sector. To better understand China's successes and failures on energy conservation in the electricity industry, first it is important to know the status of China's power sector, and the key energy conservation actions, as well as the achievements in the past years. Second, two ECER scenarios are constructed to probe the 2020 energy conservation potential. Results show that the potential is estimated to be more than 240 million tons of coal equivalent (Mtce). Third, the improvement of coal power operations, structures and technologies, and ambitious deployment of energy conservation measures are proposed to fully explore the potential of China's power industry. Fourth, great challenges for China's ECER and some suggested policies are summed up. The lessons learnt from China will provide a valuable reference and useful inputs for other emerging economies.

“…By using the above methods, the balance of electric power and energy can be achieved according to the daily average output of each power station in the power system. However, the daily fluctuation [20] of both the power system load and the generated energy of power stations within a month is often neglected, which is defined as the monthly fluctuation in this paper. The output characteristics of each thermal power station should not be ignored in the balance calculation.…”

Abstract:The balance of electric power and energy is important for designing power stations' load distribution, capacity allocation, and future operation plans, and is thus of vital significance for power design and planning departments. In this paper, we analyzed the correlation between the output fluctuations of power stations and the load fluctuations of the power system in order to study the load change of the power system within a year/month/day, and the output variation amongst the power stations in operation. Reducing the output of hydropower stations or increasing the output of thermal power stations (TPS) could keep the monthly adjustment coefficient of the power system within a certain range, and thus balance the power system's electric power and energy. The method for calculating the balance of electric power and energy of TPS is also improved. The nested-structured load shedding method (NSLSM), which is based on the calculation principle of the load shedding method, is put forward to iteratively calculate the peak shaving capacity and non-peak shaving capacity of every single thermal power station. In this way, the output process of each thermal power station can be obtained. According to the results and analysis of an example, the proposed methods of calculating monthly adjustment coefficients and the balance of electric power and energy of a thermal power station are validated in terms of correctness, feasibility, and effectiveness.
