Role and Development of Thermal Power Units in New Power Systems

Under a new power system planning, new energies represented by “wind” and “light” tends to be the main force, and power grids face power balance and clean energy consumption. The new mission of thermal power units under the new power system planning is elaborated, and the development trend and obstacles faced by thermal power units in the fields of efficient and clean power generation, ultra-low load peak regulation, mixed biomass (sludge), and coupled power-side energy storage are discussed around the construction of new power system.
