“…In some countries to promote the use of green energy, demand for green electricity needs to be increased before increasing the number of sources for electricity supply [14][15][16]. Sun et al [17] and Gliedt and Hoicka [18] studied the existing barriers to green energy in China and they suggested some policies to tackle them: suitable laws and appropriate systems, strong manufacturing support, raising public awareness and reducing these barriers in order to enhance consumers' Willingness To Pay (WTP) for green energy.…”

Consumers’ Attitudes to Support Green Energy: A Case Study in Shanghai

et al. 2019

Residents’ willingness to use green energy products is a major concern for different stakeholders and policymakers due to the reformed Chinese electricity market since 2015. This study focused on the Chinese consumer’s willingness to opt and pay for environmentally-friendly electricity sources in Shanghai’s residential sector. A questionnaire survey was used to find out the influence of gender, age, education, awareness and income level on consumers’ attitudes to alter their energy sources to green ones. The results indicated that income level and awareness are significant barriers in the usage of green energy products. Increasing the respondent’s awareness about the issues of non-green energy products convinced 97% of them to change their electricity sources completely or partly, in line with their monthly income. This clearly shows that clarifying the benefits of green energy products is a key tool to achieve a green environment in China.

Considering a future scenario in which a driverless Electric Vehicle (EV) needs an automatic charging system without human intervention. In this regard, there is a requirement for a fully automatable, fast, safe, cost-effective, and reliable charging infrastructure that provides a profitable business model and fast adoption in the electrified transportation systems. These qualities can be comprehended through wireless charging systems. Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) is a futuristic technology with the advantage of flexibility, convenience, safety, and the capability of becoming fully automated. In WPT methods resonant inductive wireless charging has to gain more attention compared to other wireless power transfer methods due to high efficiency and easy maintenance. This literature presents a review of the status of Resonant Inductive Wireless Power Transfer Charging technology also highlighting the present status and its future of the wireless EV market. First, the paper delivers a brief history throw lights on wireless charging methods, highlighting the pros and cons. Then, the paper aids a comparative review of different type's inductive pads, rails, and compensations technologies done so far. The static and dynamic charging techniques and their characteristics are also illustrated. The role and importance of power electronics and converter types used in various applications are discussed. The batteries and their management systems as well as various problems involved in WPT are also addressed. Different trades like cyber security economic effects, health and safety, foreign object detection, and the effect and impact on the distribution grid are explored. Prospects and challenges involved in wireless charging systems are also highlighting in this work. We believe that this work could help further the research and development of WPT systems..

“…3) "Energy Transition" should rationally enhance the cost advantage or the competitive advantage of renewable energy (Sun, 2018). 4) While the process exhibits the attributes of permanency, systematicness, and complexity (Solano-Rodríguez et al, 2018), "Energy Transition" should also make a difference to a synergistic, orderly, and high-quality development of energy sector (Baležentis and Štreimikienė, 2019). In addition, even if we can effectively intervene in the transition through policies, China still faces problems, such as high power consumption, large infrastructure investment, unreasonable energy structure, and high reform costs (Shi et al, 2017), which directly lead to the difficulty of accelerating the pace in the short term.…”

How to Promote Energy Transition With Market Design: A Review on China’s Electric Power Sector

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Energy transition, especially in the power industry, will lead to a significant promotion in energy sustainable development. Lots of emphases have been focused on the impact of policy on the energy transition; however, there were little studies on the role of the market. This paper will be devoted to the theoretical basis of market design comprehensively and discusses the obstacles restricting China’s energy transition by using an Institution-Economics-Technology-Behavior (IETB) analysis framework (four dimensions including Institution, Economics, Technology, and Behavior). In addition, the paper provides an overview of research findings on some available market designs related to the energy transition. Of note, power spot market, power capacity market, power futures market, carbon emission market, and Tradable Green Certificate (TGC) market are highlighted and discussed with emphasis. And the effects of implementing each market on overcoming those obstacles in the energy transition process are analyzed. The review results show that the market design is as important as the policy-making; hence, it is unwise for energy transition to focus on policies and ignore markets, and the market design should be pertinent and objective. Finally, some policy recommendations and market design suggestions are put forward.
