Call for Papers on the Theme of "Innovation and Key Technologies of Coupled Operation Mechanism of the National Unified Power Market"
• Building a national unified large market is a major decision made by the Party Central Committee. The Third Plenary Session of the20th CPC National Congress clearly proposed to "build a high-level socialist market economic system" and made "building a national unified power market" a key task. In 225, it marks the 10th anniversary of the new round of electric reform, which started with the Central Document No. 9 of 2015, is also a milestone node for the preliminary establishment of the national unified power market system. Over the past ten years, China's power market has achieved a leapfrog development from nothing to, from exploration to standardization, successfully walking a Chinese-characteristic path of power market construction, providing a solid support for ensuring power security, promoting energy transformation, and optimizing resource allocationUnder the guidance of the "dual carbon" goals, the transformation of China's energy structure is continuously accelerating. As of the end of June 2025, the new energy installed capacity exceeded 1.67 billion kilowatts, surpassing thermal power to become the dual main body of installed capacity and electricity generation increment.
  According to the drawn by President Xi Jinping, by 2035, the total installed capacity of wind and solar power is expected to reach more than six times that of 202, aiming to exceed 3.6 billion kilowatts. The development of new energy is moving from scale expansion to systemic transformation, and the safety mechanism and balance model of power system are facing a profound reconstruction, posing unprecedented challenges to market operations.
  Looking ahead to 2030, with the further liberalization of power generation and consumption plans, gradual maturity of the trading system, and the comprehensive emergence of new business forms, China's power market construction will enter a new stage, facing more complex and arduous tasks, urgently needs systemic breakthroughs in the following key areas: in terms of space, promoting the coordinated coupling of inter-provincial and provincial/regional multi-level markets; in terms of value improving the coordinated configuration mechanism of multi-dimensional values such as electricity, capacity, regulation, and green environment; in terms of elements, efficiently tapping flexible regulation resources in the entire of-grid-load-storage; in terms of subjects, standardizing and guiding diversified market participation of the user side; in terms of goals, achieving a dynamic balance between economic efficiency and power supply and green transformation. Solving these core issues is the inevitable path to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of market resource allocation.
  To this end, the editorial department of China Electric Power has specially invited Professor Fan Menghua, a senior engineer at the State Grid Energy Institute Co, Ltd., Director of the Reform and Market Research Office of the Enterprise Strategy Research Institute, Professor Liu Dunnan, a professor at North China Electric Power University and the Deputy Director the Energy Internet Center, Professor Liu Zhaoxi from the School of Electrical Engineering at South China University of Technology, and Associate Professor Gu Hongye from the Department of Electrical Engineering Tsinghua University to serve as guest editors, and organized the column of “Innovation and Key Technologies of Coupled Operation Mechanism of the National Unified Power Market”. welcome domestic and foreign experts, scholars and researchers to actively contribute, and work together to promote the continuous deepening and progress of related research.
