Nature sub-journal publishes the research results of Professor Lu Tianguang from the School of Electrical Engineering

Nature Communications recently published a report between Professor Lu Tianguang (first author) of the School of Electrical Engineering and Harvard University、Huazhong University of Science and Technology、Tsinghua University joint research result “India’s potential for integrating solar and on- and offshore wind power into its energy system”。

India has become the world’s third largest emitter of carbon dioxide，At the same time, India’s power load is growing rapidly，It is expected to reach five times by 2047。However，India’s renewable energy power generation accounts for less than 7% of total power generation.6%，Coal-fired power plants that emit carbon dioxide dominate，And this will continue for a long time，Not conducive to low-carbon operation of India’s energy system。

The study demonstrates the impact of renewable energy (wind in India、Latest work on potential analysis of light) access to energy systems，Study shows India is extremely rich in renewable energy，The energy system has great potential to operate with a high proportion of renewable energy。Research on the use of high-precision power system planning and operation collaborative simulation model，Constructing India’s 2040 low-carbon power system construction scenario。The power structure of the five regions of India’s low-carbon power system and the grid planning results indicate that there will be a great opportunity to achieve low-carbon operation of the energy system in 2040。The research results provide an important theoretical reference for promoting the decarbonization of India’s energy system and the energy transition of other countries。
