Summary:
|
This recommendation aims to establish a methodological framework for quantitatively assessing the contribution of VPP to mitigating climate change. As the global carbon neutrality process accelerates, VPPs, as a key means of integrating distributed energy resources and enhancing system flexibility and low-carbon dispatch capabilities, are increasingly valued. However, there is currently a lack of a scientific and unified methodological system globally to measure the GHG emission reduction effects achieved by VPPs through information and communication technology (ICT) means, which affects their application breadth in policy support, carbon market measurement, and international cooperation.
This recommendation will propose unified terminology, definitions, methods for setting assessment boundaries, contribution assessment model frameworks, and methods for identifying technological paths, supporting the assessment of GHG emission reduction contributions of different types of virtual power plants under various operating modes. At the same time, the recommendation will also combine typical application scenarios to construct an operational assessment process, in order to support various practical needs such as project performance management, policy formulation, carbon finance mechanisms, and green investment certification.
The formulation of this recommendation will fill the international gap in assessing the contribution of Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) to mitigating climate change under the empowerment of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). It will enhance the quantitative expression capability and global mutual recognition foundation of virtual power plants. This recommendation is of great significance for promoting the construction of a green ICT system and supporting the achievement of climate goals by various countries. It has a clear technical foundation, practical demand, and international promotion value, making its establishment urgent and necessary.
