Research on development trend and constituent technology of new urban energy interconnection system

The goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality have evolved into national strategies and international commitments at present. China’s urbanization rate is slightly above 60% while the proportion of urban energy consumption in the country’s total energy consumption has exceeded 85%, about 18 percentage points higher than the world average. In this paper, the development trends of new cities and towns and energy systems were investigated and the physical and technical elements of the four links of energy supply, conversion, transmission and storage in new cities and towns were constructed. In addition, specific energy supply and consumption technology scenarios in new cities and towns were put forward, which provided useful guidance for the planning and operation of the future urban energy interconnection system and strong support for the effective implementation of new urbanization and the goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.
