Abstract: Given that advanced technologies for both fossil and non-fossil fuels power generation have gradually entered a new development stage where the two can compete against each other in the market, studying the structural evolution of the power generation structure and its influences on the total energy consumption and emission has become a priority in the field of energy system modeling, particularly for a transitional economy like China. In this paper an optimization tool is developed and implemented to simulate the optimal portfolio of power generation technologies with the constraints on technological, economical, and environmental performance. Various scenarios are designed and compared to illustrate the interactions among cost, diversity, and emissions. Results can make a reference to the government policy-making.
