    Energy storage is a key supportive technology for the energy revolution. In the context of carbon neutrality, the fast-growing energy storage technology is playing an increasingly important role in energy industry. Existing energy storage technologies and their development statuses are expounded, focusing on their characteristics and differences. And the application scenarios and economy of these technologies are comprehensively compared. The key to battery researches is introducing new energy storage materials to solve its non-traditional electrochemical problems. Thermochemical energy storage is suitable for long-term storage due to its low energy consumption in reversible reactions, but attention should be paid to its cyclic dynamic characteristics, modeling and cost control. Pumped energy storage and compressed air storage technology are mature technologies, which are of high storage capacity and suitable for large-scale energy storage projects. However, the two technologies are limited by siting constraints, high cost of infrastructure construction and difference in operation and maintenance costs. Flywheel energy storage technology is suitable for the scenarios in need of frequent start-up and short energy release time, but how to the reduce energy loss in conversion is the challenge. Applications of hydrogen energy is restricted by difficulties in storage and transportation and its low energy conversion efficiency. The study can provide reference for relevant researches and policy formulation.

    With the development of the new-energy-oriented power system to pursue carbon peaking and carbon neutrality,low-load operation and participation in deep load regulation has become the ordinary state for coal-fired units.Though there is no constraint on the stable operation of the units running at 40%ECR,the constraints for those units at 30%ECR or a lower load should not be ignored.Many technical approaches and transformation are taken to alleviate the intrinsic constraints of the units,and new peak shaving technologies such as those integrated multi-form energy storage,CCUS and multi-energy coupling regulation are proposed.The results show that efficient technical approaches and transformation can improve the peak load regulating performance of units,and raise the dry-wet state transition point of an ultra-super critical boiler by over 6% rated load.Since it is hard to meet the demand of further peak shaving by exploring the potential in a coal-fired unit,comprehensive peak shaving technologies is feasible and crucial in further peak shaving regulation.

    With the support of carbon trading policy, the real-time, accurate and comprehensive measurement on power enterprises' carbon emissions is the basis for structure adjustment, technological innovation, supply and demand side interaction and carbon trading of power generation industry. The calculation and prediction on dynamic carbon emission factors is still limited by the data collection and transmission system. By taking deep learning, a prediction model, called GRU-Attention model, was built by combining dual attention mechanism with traditional Gate Recurrent Unit (GRU) neural network. Then, a GRU model, a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model, a LSTM model based on dual attention mechanism(LSTM-Attention) and a GRU-Attention model were constructed and trained by the power data of Hefei in 2022 and average meteorological data of Hefei, to achieve hourly prediction on carbon emission factor. Comparing the prediction results made by the four models above, it is found that the prediction made by the GRU-Attention model is more accurate than that of the other three models, which can advance the mid- and long-term prediction on carbon emission factor.

    Since the rapid growth of load has posed a huge challenge to the stability of the power system, supply-side regulation and control capabilities of traditional methods have gradually been weakened. Therefore, demand response, as an important means to alleviate the imbalance between supply and demand during power peak periods, has received increasing attention. Demand response can improve the stability of the grid by scheduling the adjustable loads on demand sides and reducing partial load capacity in peak load periods. Therefore, it is of great significance to study adjustable resources on load sides. Based on the existing researches on user-side load classification, a classification method for user-side resources according to their energy supply and consumption attributes is proposed. By analyzing the typical loads of different energy supply and consumption attributes and their characteristics, a resource library of loads with different attributes has been established, which lays a foundation for in-depth research on demand response.
