The 15th Five-Year Plan period is a strategic critical period for achieving carbon peak and constructing a new power system, and also a window of opportunity for technological innovation in the power field. Profound changes will take place in all links of source-grid-load-storage. Under the guidance of multiple national strategic goals such as "Double Carbon", Chinese path to modernization, and development of new productive forces, the development environment of the power system is facing major changes, and the 15th Five-Year power planning is facing an unprecedentedly complex situation.
In terms of demand forecasting, with the continuous emergence of new business formats and models such as computing infrastructure, electric vehicles, renewable energy hydrogen production, and virtual power plants, the future power consumption structure will change profoundly. It is urgent to scientifically judge the demand growth model and study the power demand forecasting technology adapted to the characteristics of power-driven emerging industries. In terms of system planning, it is necessary to not only make overall plans for the scale, structure, and layout of each link of source-grid-load-storage, but also comprehensively consider important factors such as functional positioning transformation, technological innovation, and industrial development, and study the all-element integrated planning technology of the new power system. In terms of system operation, the large-scale grid connection of new energy puts forward higher requirements for the flexible regulation capability of the system. In addition to the traditional power and electricity balance, the balance of regulation resources from ramping to long-term has become a new focus. In terms of policy mechanisms, with the full entry of new energy into the market, the power system planning methods and technologies need to adapt to the innovation-driven development under the market orientation. In summary, balancing the relationship between many factors such as development and security, overall and local, current and long-term, government and market, supply guarantee and consumption, traditional energy and new energy, and breaking through the key technologies of source-grid-load-storage collaborative planning and operation in the power system during the 15th Five-Year Plan period have become the key issues to be solved urgently in promoting the "Double Carbon" strategic goal and the construction of the new power system.
