Research on strategies for high quality development of new power systems

New power systems are at a critical stage of transition from theory to implementation. Against the backdrop of accelerating global energy transformation and technological revolution, shifting the energy system from “scale-oriented” to “quality-driven” is both an urgent need and a key focus for advancing the high-quality development of China’s new power systems. This study employs a four-dimensional analytical framework integrating “technology-elements-industry-green transition” to identify the main challenges existing in the new power systems currently, including constraints in key technologies, imbalances in factor allocation, difficulties in industrial coordination, and instability in power supply structure. Targeted measures are proposed accordingly. (1) Strengthening system foundations through breakthroughs in core technologies, with a focus on overcoming critical bottlenecks such as energy storage, intelligent regulation and control, and resilient protection. (2) With the goal of enhancing total factor productivity, optimizing the layout of new infrastructure, establishing an evaluation system for distribution grid capacity, and tracing the value of green energy. (3) Creating a new industrial integration paradigm characterized by “chain resilience-standard mutual recognition-ecological co-creation”, improving talent incentive mechanisms, and extending the industrial chain toward higher value-added segments. (4) Promoting multi-dimensional compensation and phased transition for coal power, developing regional resource mapping, and implementing differentiated “chain-based” development strategies across regions.
