TLDR
The authors assesses the quality of China's power system's publicly available data compared to the U.S. and concludes that despite growing use of power system models to inform and analyze Chinese energy policy, the availability of necessary data is still a significant barrier that severely limits the transparency, replicability, relevance, and usefulness of their results.Abstract:
The ongoing transformation of the world's energy system requires detailed power-system models that help plan a cost-effective and reliable integration of variable renewables and demand-side resources. The quality and depth of the results of these models depend on the existence of trustworthy, complete, and high-resolution data on extant electric power assets and the demand they serve, wind and solar resources, and projections on costs and performance of technologies that could be developed during the next three decades. This paper assesses the quality of China's power system's publicly available data compared to the U.S. It concludes that despite growing use of power system models to inform and analyze Chinese energy policy, the availability of necessary data is still a significant barrier that severely limits the transparency, replicability, relevance, and usefulness of their results. read more

Combined Effects of Carbon Pricing and Power Market Reform on CO 2 Emissions Reduction in China's Electricity Sector
Journal ArticleDOI
Combined effects of carbon pricing and power market reform on CO2 emissions reduction in China's electricity sector
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the combined effects of power market reform and carbon pricing in reducing CO 2 emissions from power system operations, and showed that moderate carbon pricing alone is insufficient to effectively reduce CO2 emissions without concurrent power market reforms.

Low carbon transition of China's electric and heating sector considering reliability: A modelling and optimization approach
Siming Song,Pei Liu,Zheng Li +2 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors established a bottom-up low-carbon transition model for electric and heating coupled systems and showed that the capacity of coal power would further increase to support a reliable transition of power system towards a higher proportion of renewable electricity, and the current target of 1200 GW of wind and solar in 2030 is not enough to achieve rapid carbon reductions, and would result in an extra 1.6 to 2.2 billion t CO2 emitted compared to 2020.

Feasibility trade-offs in decarbonising the power sector with high coal dependence: The case of Korea
TL;DR: In this article , the authors assess the feasibility of plausible decarbonisation scenarios for the power sector in the Republic of Korea through 2050 and 2060, and show that achieving zero emissions from the Power sector by the mid-century requires either an ambitious expansion of renewables backed by gas-fired generation equipped with carbon capture and storage or a significant increase of nuclear power.

Data quality management for life cycle inventories—an example of using data quality indicators☆
TL;DR: In this paper, a formal procedure for data quality management in life cycle inventory is described, and five independent data quality indicators are suggested as necessary and sufficient to describe those aspects of data quality which influence the reliability of the result.
