“…As drafted in the latest 13 th five-year (2016-2020) development plan of the Xinjiang Grid, proposed by State Grid Corporation of China, more than 200 billion RMB (about 30 billion USD) of investment will be made into power grid construction during the 13 th -five-year period, and the amounts of exporting electricity via 8 west-to-east transmission corridors are expected to reach 300 billion kWh by the end of 2020. [51] While enjoying the enormous economic benefits and enhanced energy security brought by the leap-frog construction of new power plants and grids [52] , the power industry"s impacts on water resources in northwest China should also be seriously addressed across its entire life cycle stages including planning, design, construction, and operation.…”

Intra-national electricity transmission drives virtual water transfer from electricity production regions to electricity consumption regions. In China, the water-intensive thermoelectric power industry is expanding quickly in many water-scarce energy production hubs in northern and northwestern provinces. This study constructed a node-flow model of inter-province electricity transmission to investigate the virtual water and scarcity-adjusted virtual water (or virtual scarce water) embodied in the electricity transmission network. It is revealed that total inter-provincial virtual water transfer embodied in electricity transmission was 623 million m 3 in 2011, equivalent to 12.7% of the national total thermoelectric water consumption. The top three largest single virtual water flows are West Inner Mongolia-to-Beijing (44 million m 3), East Inner Mongolia-to-Liaoning (39 million m 3), and Guizhou-to-Guangdong (37 million m 3). If the actual volumes of consumptive water use are translated into scarcity-adjusted water consumption based on Water Stress Index, West Inner Mongolia (81 million m 3), Shanxi (63 million m 3) and Ningxia (30 million m 3) become the top three exporters of virtual scarce water. Many ongoing long-distance electricity transmission projects in China will enlarge the scale of scarce water outflows from northwestern regions and potentially increase their water stress.

“…Thus, cogeneration in the country is characterized by a sufficiently low coefficient of wear and high efficiency. At the same time, the main fuel in the production of heat is energy coal (90%) (Wu et al, 2014;Lei et al, 2018). Similar to Russia, most of the district heating systems in the country are formed on the basis of a highcapacity CHP plant.…”

Consumer properties of the thermal and electric energy which are the products at energy markets yield interconnections that have significant impact on the laws of energy consumption. When physical or price restrictions of the thermal energy supply are present at the power markets, the shortage of energy can be compensated by an increase in electricity consumption. At the same time, it appears that the interconnection of heat and electricity consumption largely determines the model of ower supply organization. Our paper analysed social and economic properties of the energy market. We show that in the case of separate production of heat and electric energy, these products yield the properties of substitutes for the consumers at the energy market. Our results show that heat and electric energy are interchangeable and the increase in the cost of one of them leads to its replacement by the other. At the same time, we find that for the countries with the welldeveloped combined production of heat and electric energy from the same energy source (the so-called cogeneration) which is typical for countries with a cold climate, the interrelationship between heat and electricity acquires a complementary nature, and the rise in prices for one commodity will not necessarily lead to a significant increase in demand for the other.

Strategic Adjustment of China’s Power Generation Capacity Structure Under the Constraint of Carbon Emission

2015

China's power generation capacity structure should be adjusted due to the needs to reduce CO 2 emissions. Now, we should take carbon dioxide emissions as a constraint in satisfying the electricity demand. Through an optimization model, the optimal power generation capacity structure under the constraint of carbon dioxide emission reduction is achieved. Also, the macroeconomic influences are accessed through a computable general equilibrium model, which results from the increment of power generation costs owing to adjustment of power generation capacity structure. The results show that, the implementation of renewable energy planning has significant positive effects on CO 2 emission reduction. Nevertheless, the constraint of carbon dioxide emissions will change the power generation capacity structure as well as the power generation costs, and consequently has negative impacts on the macro-economy. It is worth noting that at current stage, many important industries in China are highly reliant on coal and thermal power. As a result, the potential for emission reduction by adjusting power generation capacity structure seems to decrease.
