Review and Prospect of Regional Renewable Energy Planning Models

Effectively planning regional renewable energy sources is favorable for fully utilizing abundant renewable energy resources in China,promoting the proceeding of energy-saving and emission reduction,improving low-carbon degree of power source structure and promoting the development of intelligent and green electric power.After the presentation on the sustainable development problem of energy sources that China has to be faced with at present and the framework for regional renewable energy resource planning model,a review on integrated structural models,which are researched and applied to energy source plannings home and abroad,is given;the structures and application situation of the IIASA-WEC energy economic environment,the integrated policy assessment model for China(IPAC),prospective outlook on long-term energy systems(POLES),the national energy modeling systems(NEMS) and hybrid optimization model for electric renewables(HOMER) are emphatically summarized,and some existing problems and the development trend of renewable energy planning in future are pointed out.
