Type: article
Abstract: Driven by energy transformation, digital technology innovation and dual-carbon goals, the evolution of power system to new power system (NPS) faces many unprecedented challenges. The existing review focuses on the optimization of source-grid-load-storage (SGLS) links, generally ignores the differentiated characteristics of user-side demand response (DR), and lacks systematic integration analysis of the whole chain of source-grid-load-storage-user (SGLSU). Firstly, this paper combs the development stage and core characteristics of power system under the background of energy revolution, and then takes the five core links of SGLSU as the research object, systematically analyzes the development status, core technology bottleneck and actual operation problems of each link, and clarifies the optimization and upgrading direction and key breakthrough points of each link. The research shows that the construction of NPS needs to rely on technological innovation to break through key barriers, break through development barriers through mechanism improvement, and form a joint force with the help of multi-link deep coordination, so as to meet the challenges of new energy consumption and safe and stable operation of power grid. The whole chain analysis system and differentiated optimization ideas proposed in this paper can provide reference for the planning and design, technology research and development and engineering application of NPS.
