Abstract
China is currently the largest carbon emission country in the world. In China, the power industry’s carbon emissions accounted for more than 40% of the total. Moreover, annual electricity consumption is still rising, increasing by 6% to 9.15 trillion kWh in 2023. Therefore, the carbon emission reduction of the power industry is particularly important for achieving the goals of carbon neutrality and carbon peaking in China. From the perspective of the life cycle, the power industry can be divided into three major phases: the generation side, the transmission side, and the consumption side. Starting from these three phases, this paper constructs a life cycle carbon emission model of power systems, incorporating digital monitoring technology to realize the real-time monitoring and management of carbon emissions from power systems in China. On the consumption side, this paper selects the liquor industry in Guizhou as a typical case. It calculates the carbon emissions of some units with a capacity of 6000 kW and above in Guizhou in a month by constructing a carbon emission model. The realization of real-time carbon emission monitoring of the power grid will help the power industry achieve the goal of “dual carbon” at an early date.
