Lan CHEN, Xi LIANG, Di ZHOU
2014, 1(1): 7-15. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2014.01.002
Abstract:
Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) as one of the most promising low-carbon technologies to curb greenhouse gas emissions will bring in significant opportunities for energy, manufacturing, construction, engineering services, and financial service industries. This paper firstly analyzes the contribution to CO2 emission reduction, potential commercial opportunity from CCUS supply chain, equipment and technical requirements, the reasons of seabed sequestration with commercial CCS demonstration projects in the United Kingdom. Then the industrial opportunities for Guangdong province from CCUS technique are discussed. The results show that the global CCUS market has not yet achieved a stage of rapid growth and therefore seizing the opportunities for industry will require early preparation of enabling policy frameworks and the development of CCUS demonstration projects. We cannot wait for this to happen before developing the CCUS industry and indeed most of the technology and equipment required already has applications in non-CCUS related industries. Based on the cooperation of equipment manufacturing industry and energy service companies at home and abroad, the CCUS industrial development and cost reduction will have a good prospect.

Xiaobing SUN
2014, 1(1): 16-24. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2014.01.003
Abstract:
Since 2000, many new changes and problems have emerged in the world's energy industry, which means the world energy pattern is undergoing structural adjustment. The broad understanding of energy security mainly contains energy supply capacity energy consumption structure, energy consumption intensity, environmental issues caused by energy consumption, energy trade security and so on. The 16 classification indexs related to the above issues are discussed in this paper with the horizontal and longitudinal comparison of historical conceptions and worldviews. The results show that energy self-sufficiency rate in China would keep over 75% before 2040, so there could be enough time to adjust macro energy strategy. Given that coal is dominant in China's energy consumption structure, it consequently leads to a series of environmental problems, especially greenhouse-gas emissions and PM2.5 emissions have been serious. In the long run, there is no problem with the capability to pay the net import of energy in China. China's energy imports are mostly from the Middle East, so China should pay close attention to the situation in the Middle East. Meanwhile, China should focus on the diversification in energy import sources.

Zhikeng LI, Haisen YANG, Chao CHEN
2014, 1(1): 30-33. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2014.01.005
Abstract:
As a flexible network reconfiguration can be applied in a distribution system, of which reliability cannot be evaluated by common methods applied in normal distribution systems. In this paper, randomness of wind generators, solar generators and loads are considered and the formula for calculating probability of a load supplied by backup sources is derived. Then a new method for fast reliability evaluation, which includes the network reconfiguration and backup sources, is proposed. A reliability evaluation for different reconfiguration schemes based on the PG&E 69-node system in USA is performed by the proposal method. The results validate the theoretical analysis in this paper and indicate that the proposed method could comprehensively evaluate the reliability and thus provide theoretical basis of the self-healing control scheme formulation and evaluation.

Wenjie ZHENG, Xiaojun CHEN, Bo LI, Shu HUANG
2014, 1(1): 34-37. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2014.01.006
Abstract:
At present, the graphics modules' automatic export from geographic information system(GIS) and import to distribution automation systems (DAS)are not solved in most of the new local power supply bureaus. Data quality is the most common problem found in the data model between the export from GIS and the import to DAS. The graph and model exchange cannot be finished in an automatic manner while DAS does not have unified graphic primitives and the graphics appears to be misplaced after importing SVG graphics from GIS. Workflows for graph and model exchange between GIS and DAS have been discussed and established in many power supply bureaus of Guangdong Power Grid. Provided that the correspondent department and personel have been assigned, the process still needs to be strengthened and so does the automation level. This paper presents the problem of model in GIS and graphics after deriving from GIS and importing to DAS. Suggestions and the corresponding countermeasures are also provided . The results show that the enterprise application integration will be further improved by considering the practical research on graph and model exchange between GIS and DAS with the optimization of management process.

Abstract:
The insulation coordination of the ultra-high voltage direct current (UHVDC) converter station is very important for the engineering technical and economic performance of the UHVDC transmission system project.At home and abroad, there is no uniform insulation coordination scheme of the ± 800 kV converter station, this paper selects a typical scheme based on the comparison and analysis of the existing insulation coordination scheme, carries out the universality of the research on the insulation coordination scheme under the economic transmission distance and transmission capacity of ± 800 kV HVDC project. By using the PSCAD/EMTDC program, it mainly analyzes the influence of the transmission distance and transmission capacity on the insulation coordination scheme. The simulation results show that the influence of the change of transmission distance on the insulation coordination scheme of converter station is little, while the influence of the increase of transmission capacity on the stress of the individual arrester is large, arrester protection level or equipment insulation level can remain the same by increasing the parallel numbers of arresters. The study results of this paper can provide references for standardization of converter station design.

2014, 1(1): 106-110. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2014.01.020
Abstract:
In order to study the effect of inrush current to the backup protection of transformer, a maloperation of transformer backup protection is presented in this paper, which is caused by inrush current emerged during the no-load switching of the new transformer in a 220 kV substation. The equivalent circuit model of the no-load switching transformer is established which derives the differential equation of the transformer magnetic flux. The mechanism of inrush current and the factors related to amplitude and attenuation are analyzed. Then some conclusions are presented. The theoretical results are verified by the real fault recorder data. According to the slow attenuation of inrush current, some measures are proposed to avoid the maloperation of backup protection, which have been verified in practice.
