Research on the Low-Carbon Development Evaluation System for the Thermal Power Plants

The environment problem becoming increasingly prominent in nowadays, people pay more and more attention to low-carbon. The low-carbon status of power plants has a significant impact on the low-carbon development of the whole country. And the proportion of thermal power installed capacity of total installed capacity is more than 70%. So there’s necessity and practical significance to study low-carbon development evaluation system for thermal power plants. This paper discusses the principles, indexes selection and evaluation methods for thermal power plants’ low-carbon development assessment. And its case study done shows the effectiveness of the methods.
