Research on the new-generation urban energy system in China

Energy is the blood of modern society and energy system plays an increasingly important role in urban development, especially in the background of a new round of energy reform. The construction of a new-generation of urban energy systems is becoming an important breakthrough to solve the bottleneck of urban development and to improve the quality of urban development in the future. From the perspective of the relationship between energy and cities, this paper analyzes the current situation and existing problems of urban energy system Taking the research of energy system in Xiong'an New District as an opportunity, this paper explores the operation structure and implementation path of the new-generation urban energy system in Xiong'an New District. In this paper, it is considered that the new-generation energy system in Xiong'an New District will be electricity-centered, smart grid as the platform, energy transregional transmission combined with local development, optimal scheduling among multiple energy categories, and "source-grid-load-storage" high-efficiency interaction as well as the unified open market. The proposal of the new generation of urban energy system cannot only point out the direction for the planning and construction of the energy system in Xiong'an New District, but also help to solve the general problems in the urban energy system and promote the trend of energy transformation.
