CO2 Emission Reduction for Power System Based on Total Emission Control of CO2 (II): A Case Study

Power industry as the main source of CO2 emissions, is facing tremendous challenge of CO2 emission reduction during the periods of "12th Five-year" and 13th Five-year". How to maximize the reduction of power CO2 emissions under the premise of regional economic development and energy requirements is the significant management objective for administrative department. In this study, a mixed integer stochastic chance-constraint programming model based on CO2 emission reduction from power industry is applied to the power system in Heilongjiang province, in order to obtain the CO2 emission reduction schemes of energy conservation, reduction project and power structure adjustment in Heilongjiang province during the periods of the Five-year" and "13th Five-year". According to the model calculation and the results analysis, the power CO2 emission growth in periods of the "12th Five-year" and "13th Five-year" are less than 23.82% and 20.13% respectively, significantly lower than the regional CO2 emission growth. It means the power industry has made a great contribution to CO2 emission reduction in Heilongjiang province. Meanwhile, the results of model application show that the developed model can meet the management target of maximizing the reduction of power CO2 emissions, and provide reasonable reference to the administrative department.
