Academician talks about energy security: to do a good job in the "big article" of deep integration of coal and new energy

As my country's main energy source, coal is the "ballast stone" of energy security.

On September 2, the "Carbon Neutrality and Coal High-Quality Development Forum and the 12th Global Top 500 New Energy Enterprises Summit" was held in Taiyuan, Shanxi.

Wu Yin, former deputy director of the National Energy Administration, said that to ensure energy security, we must adhere to the "system concept" to seek the optimal solution, that is, to adhere to the reliability of energy security, clean and low-carbon ecology, and the economy of efficiency and effectiveness

Liu Jizhen, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, former president of North China Electric Power University, and director of the State Key Laboratory of New Energy Power Systems, said that to ensure energy supply and energy security, it is necessary to do a good job in the "big article" of deep integration of coal and new energy

Liu Jizhen believes that to realize the integrated development of coal and new energy, the following aspects should be promoted:

First, in terms of coal, while gradually reducing coal, it is necessary to consider whether coal can be produced, supplied and stable under extreme circumstances

In terms of new energy, the plan for renewable energy shall be coordinated and implemented in detail as soon as possible, and the high-quality and large-scale development of new energy shall be promoted

Second, centering on the action goals and roadmap for the in-depth integration and development of coal and new energy, systematically and scientifically promote the integration and development of coal and new energy

Third, increase scientific and technological research and development efforts

Fourth, formulate corresponding policies
.
Improve the financial, financial and talent support policies related to scientific and technological innovation, increase the approval of coal and new energy integration projects, establish a diversified investment mechanism, and improve the financial support supporting policies for the integration of coal and new energy
.
Adhere to the problem orientation, accelerate the training of academic leaders and a group of key technical talents for the integrated development of coal and new energy, and create a system and mechanism that is conducive to technological innovation
.

Shi Yubo, chairman of the China Energy Research Association, said that in the long run, coal still plays a very important role in energy supply
.
Facing the realization of the "dual carbon" goal, the time is pressing, which poses a severe challenge to China's energy development.
It is necessary to properly handle the relationship between the development of the coal industry and the guarantee of coal bottom line
.

　　At present, China's coal power is still the main power source of the power system, accounting for 47% of the installed capacity and about 60% of the power generation
.

　　Wang Zhixuan, deputy chairman of the China Electricity Council Expert Committee, member of the National Expert Committee on Climate Change, and Dean of the New Energy System and Carbon Neutrality Research Institute of North China Electric Power University, said that in the process of China's energy transformation and development, we must have a clear understanding of China's coal power Mission in the energy transition
.

　　Wang Zhixuan said that for the future development of coal power, first, we must correctly handle the relationship between transformation and energy security and low-carbon development; second, we must clarify the positioning of coal power, and determine the mission of coal power with systematic thinking and bottom-line thinking, that is, to support the bottom line and ensure supply.
, system regulation, combined heat and power supply, comprehensive utilization, and strategic backup; third, the development of coal power during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period should continue to play the main role of electricity and electricity, and it should be fully demonstrated when promoting the "three reforms and linkages" , to avoid blind transformation; fourth, to establish a policy environment that is compatible with the mission of coal power, and highly prevent the dilemma of coal power production and operation from evolving into a systemic risk
.

　　Wang Zhixuan emphasized that the withdrawal of coal power from the historical stage is inevitable, and the impulse of investors to actively build coal power has basically disappeared
.
The current focus is on ensuring the safety and stability of the power system, enabling coal-fired power units to better serve renewable energy, and at the same time enabling coal-fired power investors to have "normal returns"
