Abstract:

The essence of scientific revolution is the paradigm shift, which can be applied to the energy revolution. Under the goals of "carbon peak and carbon neutralization", the essence of energy revolution is the shift of development paradigm, that is, the transformation and upgrading paradigm from low energy density to high energy density, and the energy utilization paradigm shift from low environmental protection to high environment protection. Under the paradigm shift of energy development, the traditional power system is gradually appearing a power system with high proportion of new energy, which is facing risks such as decrease in economy, stability and adequacy, and limited development space. However, the original development paradigm, namely intensive power source development, high-voltage power grid and synchronous grid expansion cannot reduce the risks. The original paradigm will fail and the rules will gradually slack. Driven by such development factors as distributed power generation, microgrid and large-capacity energy storage, the transformation of technological innovation mode will lead to the establishment of a new development paradigm. The power system established under the new development paradigm is the new power system.

Key words: scientific revolution, paradigm shift, new energy, new power system
