Abstract

With the increasingly severe global environmental problems and the decrease of the storage of the fossil energy, renewable energy sources (RES) are drawing more and more attention. In China, renewable energy generation (REG) is experiencing a rapid development; however, its investment, transmission and management remain immature and deficient compared with those of the developed countries. First, this paper summarises the developing situation of REG in China through taking the booming wind power and photovoltaic power as examples, indicating that the grid connection rate of REG has yet to be improved. Then, this paper focuses on the grid connection management mode of REG in China which includes the following aspects: operation management, organisation management and grid connection incentive policy. Third, based on the above research, this paper analyses the existing problems of the grid connection management mode of REG. Finally, a coordinated management mechanism is proposed to solve the problems impeding large-scale grid connection of REG in China, including the coordinated management mechanism of integrated planning and transmission.
