Nonlinear integrated resource strategic planning model and case study in China's power sector planning

The implications of CO 2 price for China’s power sector decarbonization

“…There are many GEP models developed for the Chinese case, such as [21,[43][44][45][46][47][48]. For this study, CCS technology should be integrated with the conventional generation technologies.…”

A bi-level integrated generation-transmission planning model incorporating the impacts of demand response by operation simulation

“…Now that DR is playing an increasingly important role in power systems, its impacts on power system planning cannot be neglected. The reduction of peak load in the target year through DR is able to decrease the capacity of generation expansion and transmission expansion [17,18]. Against this background, some scholars have executed researches on planning issues incorporating DR. Yuan et al [17] introduce a resource planning model considering IBDR, in which load curtailment is regarded as an option for replacing generation expansion to meet peak load demand.…”

Optimal trade-offs between energy efficiency improvements and additional renewable energy supply: A review of international experiences

“…Different studies have already acknowledge the significance of the rebound effect and popularization costs when analyzing EE implementation in energy systems [49]- [51]. The magnitude is usually estimated in a range between 0% and 30% (rebound) [52] and 20% (popularization) [41] of the savings gained, thus making both of them essential factors to consider in analyses of energy system highly based on EE. Nevertheless, a proper mix of measures on both demand and supply is necessary in order to gain significant emission reduction [53].…”

“…Depending on the degree of complexity of the analysis on the objective to optimize, the models were classified as linear and non linear. While the theoretical difference among the two methods is commonly acknowledged, it was found that those models which presented non linearity were either considering a multi-objective optimization approach [40], [41], considering non-linear cost supply curves of resources used in power generation [12] or including non linear modules while solving the optimization [24](e.g. BALANCE module for ENPEP [29]).…”
