Core Viewpoint - The core objective during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period is to promote the "New Generation Coal Power Upgrade Action," focusing on enhancing flexibility and low-carbon capabilities in coal power generation [1]. Group 1: Industry Transition and Goals - The "New Generation Coal Power Upgrade Action" aims to improve deep peak regulation and rapid load adjustment capabilities while enhancing clean and low-carbon power generation [1]. - By 2027, there will be a focus on retrofitting and constructing coal power units with rapid load change capabilities in areas where the grid's rapid adjustment needs are not met [1]. - The initiative will also address areas with peak regulation shortages by developing coal power units capable of deep peak regulation and efficient load adjustment [1]. Group 2: Role of Coal Power - Coal power remains a crucial pillar for energy supply in China, serving as a key adjustment source for the new power system and a reliable heat supply for residential heating and industrial use [1]. - The trend of "increasing capacity while reducing output" in coal power presents both opportunities and challenges for the industry [2]. Group 3: Technological Innovation and Clean Energy - The transition to a new power system is driven by technological innovation and mechanism guarantees, emphasizing the role of coal power transformation and the large-scale application of energy storage technologies [2]. - China has built the world's largest and fastest-growing renewable energy system, with the potential to create a zero-carbon power supply system dominated by renewable energy [2][3]. Group 4: Collaborative Efforts - The coal power sector is actively seeking green and low-carbon transformation, with potential for flexible peak regulation through quick start-stop operations in coordination with renewable energy sources [3]. - Efficient collaboration with energy storage technologies will ensure the stable and secure supply of the energy system [3].
