Abstract

China will soon be under the pressure of controlling the emissions of CO2 and various air pollutants simultaneously. Power sector as the largest contributor is the key sector to fulfill this task, which makes a power sector model with consideration of multiple air emissions control in great need for supporting policy making. This study built a multi- period optimization model for China s power sector with considerations of SO2, NOX and CO2 emission control and accounting of Hg emissions, based on six regional power grids with growing inter-connections. A case study of technology development and emission trends in China s power sector between 2010 and 2030 follows, using regional technology and fuel data in 2010, and advices for further model development come last.
