Abstract

Carbon capture power plants (CCPPs) can effectively eliminate the carbon-locking effect of coal-fired power generation systems, which constitute one of the essential technical pathways to achieve low-carbon transformation of the power structure. Capable of decoupling CO2 absorption and separation in terms of time, CCPPs equipped with solvent storage have stronger operational flexibility while promoting the realization of carbon emission reduction targets. Therefore, this study focuses on the generation expansion planning of power systems containing solvent-storaged carbon capture power plants (SSCCPPs). First, a mathematical model is proposed for SSCCPPs considering new operation characteristics of power generation-carbon capture. Second, the per kilowatt-hour carbon emission coefficient (kWh-CEC) of various power plants is analyzed by life cycle assessment (LCA), and a bilateral stepped carbon trading model is established to quantify power plants' whole life cycle carbon emission effects. Third, a generation expansion planning model considering the internalization of carbon emission effects is developed to explore the benefits of planning SSCCPPs in wind-coal intensive power systems and multi-energy integrated systems. The simulation results on the modified IEEE RTS-96 system and IEEE HRP-38 system have validated the economic and low-carbon performance of planning SSCCPPs in the system.
