Abstract:

The construction of a new power system with new energy as the main body is the key path to achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality in China. The role that geothermal power generation technology, which is famous for its stability and cleanness, plays in protecting ecology of the new power system brings challenges and opportunities to this technology. Based on the concept of "systematization" of Energy Internet,we tentatively analyze the thermal,economic and environmental benefits of the new power system with grid-connected geothermal power,wind power and PV power, as well as the participation mode and mechanism of geothermal power in the new system. From the perspective of power system balance and the LCOE the whole system, geothermal power can participate in the new power system as a secured and flexible power source and an auxiliary service provider by means of replacing coal power and realizing carbon capture and storage (CCS),which supports the schedule and operation. The IEEE-118 node system that represents a wind-PV-geothermal power system was studied. The results show that replacing 20% of coal power by geothermal power, the total economic cost of the whole system will be reduced by about 14% in 30 years. However, the lack of top-level design and geothermal power evaluation mechanism, and the underdeveloped medium-low temperature hydro-geothermal power generation,CO2-enhanced geothermal power generation and thermo-economic analysis technologies are restricting the development of the geothermal power generation technology in China.
