Gas Power Generation Synergy with High-Proportion Wind and Solar: A Key Pathway to Building a New Power System
Release time:
2025-12-19
Driven by the "dual carbon" goals, China's installed capacity of new energy continues to break records. By 2025, the total installed capacity of wind and solar power has exceeded 1.5 billion kilowatts, accounting for over 45% of the total. However, the intermittent and volatile nature of wind and solar power generation poses challenges to the safe and stable operation of the power grid. Leveraging its fast start-stop and flexible regulation capabilities, gas power generation has become the core "stabilizer" supporting power grids with a high proportion of new energy. Its synergy model with wind and solar power is evolving from simple peak shaving to deep integration.
Capitalizing on its inherent advantages of rapid start-stop and flexible peak regulation, gas power generation has become a key technology for supporting power systems with a high proportion of new energy. Under the "integrated solar-gas-storage" model, when solar power generation is high during the daytime, gas power units can reduce output to 20%-30% of their rated capacity for deep peak shaving, ensuring full utilization of solar power. At night, they coordinate with energy storage to rapidly ramp up to full capacity, taking over as the main power supply. This system, through the physical coupling of multiple energy sources, effectively overcomes the spatiotemporal volatility constraints of new energy. Practical operation shows that such integrated models can improve the comprehensive utilization rate of regional new energy, providing a key solution for achieving continuous, reliable clean energy supply 24/7. Intelligent dispatching technology is crucial for enhancing synergy efficiency.
Dynamic dispatching systems based on weather clustering algorithms can integrate real-time data such as irradiance and wind speed to generate multi-dimensional weather scenario sequences. In Guangdong's electricity spot market, gas power companies, by analyzing peak evening price fluctuations (reaching up to 670 RMB/MWh), precisely match them with gas price tolerance (approximately 2.7 RMB/cubic meter) to achieve economical operation. Qingdao's offshore solar project adopts a "co-located wind and solar, gas power synergy" design. It utilizes engineering geological data from offshore oil and gas fields to reduce development costs, while simultaneously using offshore wind power for hydrogen production to mitigate wind curtailment, forming a closed loop of "development-utilization-storage". Business model innovation injects market momentum into synergistic development.
The "wind-solar-hydrogen-gas-storage" demonstration project promoted in Shanxi, through a green electricity premium sharing mechanism, allocates gas power costs to new energy revenue, increasing the overall project return rate by 12%. The benchmark gas power price + floating subsidy policy piloted in Zhejiang ensures reasonable returns for gas power amid electricity price fluctuations, stimulating corporate investment enthusiasm. Regional adaptability design strengthens the effectiveness of synergy implementation. Coastal load centers (e.g., Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta) adopt a distributed solar-gas complementary model. Qingdao's offshore solar + onshore 9F gas turbine project meets the comprehensive energy needs of industrial parks through "combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP)", achieving a 70% energy utilization rate. Northwest wind-solar bases leverage their natural gas pipeline network advantages. Xinjiang's Dabancheng wind power project uses off-peak wind power for heating and peak gas power for energy supplementation, reducing coal consumption by 18,000 tons in a single heating season.
Central and eastern provinces focus on deploying peak-shaving gas power plants. Henan Tianlun Gas pilot-tested a "gas-power synergy" model in rural areas, using rooftop solar revenue to subsidize the gas business, maximizing user benefits. Currently, the synergy between gas power generation and high-proportion wind and solar has progressed from technical verification to large-scale promotion.
With continuous breakthroughs in digital dispatching algorithms, green electricity trading mechanisms, and gas storage capacity construction, gas power generation is transforming from a "peak-shaving supporting role" to a "stabilizing leading role", providing crucial support for building a new power system dominated by new energy.
