Abstract
Power generation policy equals the safety policy of a certain country. It should be reasonable and it should consider the access to available energy sources. The crucial issue revolves around minimizing the negative influence of power generation sector on the environment. At the same time, recent years have proven the united stand of world policies toward power generation. Poland has also attempted to determine a new model of power generation strategy. This strategy ought to consider the needs of both the recipients and climate challenges. But there is a crucial question of the shape of the new strategy for development of power system within the next years in the light of requirements of convention on climate change. During the Climate Conference in Paris in December 2015 – 195 countries accepted the first world agreement related to climate preservation. The agreement determines a world action plan, which is to prevent climate change as the result of climate warming. One of the goals is a quick reduction of emissions including power generation sector. This overview presents a current state of National Power System, availability of primary energy sources and various power technologies of future strategy for power system development. The technologies are described in view of their possible use for power generation and their applicability for the reduction of emissions of harmful substances to the atmosphere.
Highlights
The arrangements of 21 Conference of the Parties of UN Framework Convention on Climate Change COP21 which was held in 2015 in Paris, include several important goals which aim at the reduction of greenhouse gases and lowering global climate changes
National Power System is mainly based on power plants heated with coal; the system is one of the biggest in Europe; current installed capacity has exceeded 40 GW
Comparing to the year 2014, there has been an increase of installed capacity of more than 2.3 GW and it has been mostly caused by new investments into renewable energy sources (1.8 GW), mainly wind power plants [1]
Summary
The arrangements of 21 Conference of the Parties of UN Framework Convention on Climate Change COP21 which was held in 2015 in Paris, include several important goals which aim at the reduction of greenhouse gases and lowering global climate changes. Poland and other European countries, besides the new climate agreement concluded during the summit COP21 in Paris, must abide by European climate regulations. It is a climate and power generation package which expires in 2020. In the context of these changes, it is quite difficult and risky to predict the future of the power generation sector, especially for a longer perspective. Economic development of a country is determined by security of energy supply which, on the other hand, should be generated from available sources and at satisfactory prices
