2023, 10(S1): 68-73. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2023.S1.011
Abstract:
  Introduction  As a major economic province in China, Guangdong Province ranks first in both natural gas consumption and installed capacity of natural gas power generation, and has its unique development laws and characteristics for natural gas power generation. In recent years, with the centralized construction and operation of natural gas power generation units in the Pearl River Delta and the iteration of natural gas engine power equipment in new power plants, the problems of insufficient gas supply pressure, resource shortage, and mismatch between the gas and electricity markets in Guangdong Province have become increasingly severe. Further research is required on the synergistic relationship between the development of natural gas power generation and the construction of natural gas production, supply, storage, and sales systems, to coordinate power generation and gas consumption, and ensure the safe supply of energy in Guangdong. Further research is needed on the synergistic relationship between the development of natural gas power generation and the construction of natural gas production, supply, storage, and sales system, and to coordinate power generation and gas consumption, so that the supply security of energy can be ensured in Guangdong.   Method  The Research focused on the progress of natural gas production, supply and storage system construction and natural gas power generation in Guangdong Province, further analyzed the contradiction between natural gas power generation demand and natural gas resource supply, natural gas pipeline network construction, etc. in the Pearl River Delta region, and proposed suggestions for natural gas power generation planning layout and infrastructure development.   Result  The Research shows that with the country's emphasis on low-carbon development, the environmental value of natural gas power generation will become more apparent. Guangdong Province's natural gas power generation still has good development space and prospects, but it is particularly important to handle the relationship between "gas" and "electricity". Natural gas power generation, as an important component of the construction of a new power system in Guangdong Province, should be based on the improvement of natural gas supply and infrastructure.   Conclusion  Coordinating the development positioning, planning layout, development scale, and implementation path of natural gas power generation, and accelerating the construction of natural gas production, supply, storage, and sales system are effective measures to ensure the development of natural gas power generation in Guangdong.

Abstract:
  Introduction  The fresh water consumption of 2 × 1000 MW coal-fired units is about more than 500 tons per hour, and how to obtain this part of fresh water is very important for the safe and economic operation of power plants.   Method  In this paper, several fresh water supply schemes for coastal power plants were compared and analyzed from the aspects of technology and economy, aiming to provide some suggestions for the decision making of fresh water schemes under specific boundary conditions.   Result  Through the discussion of this paper, it is found that the water supply cost of tap water supply scheme is low, but there are some problems such as water intake agreement, land acquisition of water pipeline. Although seawater desalination saves fresh water resources and has good social benefits, it requires high investment, heavy operation and maintenance workload, high operation cost and high water supply cost.   Conclusion  The two fresh water supply schemes are feasible, and it is suggested that tap water should be used as the fresh water source of the power plant when sufficient tap water is available.
