Study on the strategy of improving the life cycle economic sustainability of wind power heating projects in northern China.

Abstract

The profitability of electric heating projects in Northern China is poor. A kind of combined market-oriented trading strategy to improve the economy of electric heating projects is put forward. The price game model for direct power purchase, compensation model for carbon emission reduction benefits and load aggregation revenue model are constructed, and the optimal proportion of clean energy and conventional energy consumed under the condition of ensuring heating reliability is analyzed. An electric heating project was analyzed as an example, the results showed that in the direct power purchase transaction, the power price is 0.2125 RMB/kWh, which is 0.0591 RMB/kWh lower than the catalogue tariff. Revenue from carbon trading and auxiliary service transaction is 469,913.87 RMB and 289,218.09 RMB, respectively, which is equivalent to reducing electricity cost of 0.0253 RMB/kWh and 0.0156 RMB/kWh, respectively. The ultimate power cost is 0.1716RMB/kWh, which is 0.1 RMB/kWh lower than the current catalogue tariff. Besides, the more clean energy an electric heating project consumes, the better its economy will be, and in this example, the best proportion of clean energy and conventional energy is 80% and 20%. The research results could help to promote the sustainable development of clean heating in northern China.
