ABSTRACT

At present, the national carbon market is officially launched, and the power generation industry is first brought into in the national carbon market as a key industry. In order to analyze the impact of carbon market on the production and operation of power generation enterprises, this paper takes 30 units of 300 MW as an example to quantitatively analyze the carbon emission intensity and the surplus and deficit of quota, and the carbon benefits per unit electricity are quantitatively analyzed according to the different compensated quota allocation ratio and carbon price. Then, the cost and benefit per unit electricity are analyzed under different power production types, and it is shows that the power generation will be inclined to clean and efficient thermal power units and renewable energy sources with the increase of compensated quota allocation ratio and carbon price, which provides certain reference for carbon emission management of large domestic power generation groups.
