Abstract:

Being of high security, excellent power quality, large scale of energy storage and capability of bi-directional grid connection, the Concentrating Solar Power(CSP) technology is irreplaceable on the path to carbon peak and carbon neutrality. It will be the central pillar of the new power system construction taking new energy as the main body. After nearly 20-year growth, China's CSP industry is highly developed with a complete industrial chain. The localization rate of equipment for domestic projects in operation has exceeded 90%, which meets the requirement for large-scale application. By analyzing the breakthroughs of CSP technologies,significant cost reduction due to the scaling up of the industry,promotion of CSP industry made by the bundling of PV power, wind power and solar thermal energy on electric market, relevant proposals are put forward.

Key words: Concentrating Solar Power(CSP), carbon peaking, carbon neutrality, new power system, electricity market, strategic positioning
