9 3. What is Global Energy Interconnection GEI is a globally interconnected strong and smart grid with UHV grids as the backbone; it is an infrastructure platform on which clean energy can be developed, transmitted and used massively worldwide. Smart Grid UHV Grid Clean Energy 9

10 4. Why GEI GEI is the key to implement Two Replacements. Abundant clean energy resources worldwide are unevenly distributed from power load centers. Intermittent and volatile wind and PV power needs to be integrated into a bulk power grid to advance its development. Unit: 1,000TWh/Year 单位 : 万亿千瓦时 / 年 water 水能 39 wind 风能 2000 太阳能 solar Global reserve of hydro, wind and solar power (Unit: 1,000TWh/Year) 10

11 5. Conditions for GEI have been met More cost-efficient renewable energy Technological progress will make wind and PV power generation more economically competitive than fossil energy by Economy Technology More mature technologies Practices ±1100kV HVDC transmission can run over 6000 km with a transmission capacity of 12GW to 15GW. More favorable political environment Paris Agreement came into effect; Endorsements from the UN, the World Bank and IEA. Politics Successes in China 22 UHV AC/DC projects under operation and construction The world s most installed capacity of clean energy generation 36% installed capacity from non-fossil fuel power 11

14 Unit;Mtce 1. Asian Energy Transition is More Urgent 1 great demand, huge consumption, rapid growth 2Prominent environmental issues Asia others CO PM2.5 NOX SO2 0% 50% 100% Energy Demand Growth in Asia from Proportion of Pollutants Emission in Asia of the World s Total 14

15 1. Asian Energy Transition is More Urgent 3great challenge of securing energy supply to the public Power Universal Service in Asia in 2014 Population without electricity Proportion in total population Total in Asia 512 million 14% India 244 million 19% 4High reliance on energy imports Primary Energy imports Japan:93% The Republic of Korea:81% Bangladesh 60 million 38% Pakistan 51 million 27% Nepal 7 million 24% DPRK 18million 74% World s total 1186 million 16% Imports of oil China:63% India:80% 15

16 2. The key to promoting energy transition in Asia lies in the massive development and distribution of clean energy Hydro: 7,000TWh/Year Wind: 160,000TWh /Year Solar: 240,000TWh /Year The uneven distribution of clean energy resources and demands in Asia makes it an inevitable way to promote energy transition and realize sustainable development. 16

17 3. Layout for the Asian Energy Interconnection Layout: form a 1+5 interconnecting pattern comprised of grids from China, Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Central Asia and West Asia. Northeast Asia Northeast Asia: accelerate the development of clean energy in North China, Mongolia and Russia, and transmit the electricity to East China, the Republic of Korea and Japan to realize energy interconnection in the region. West Asia Central Asia China South Asia and Southeast Asia: speed up power grid construction so that they are connected within the South Asia region to accommodate clean energy from China, Central Asia and West Asia to meet the demand in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Southeast Asian countries. Southeast Asia 17

18 ( 三 ) 构建亚洲能源互联网的总体思路 Central Asia: build large wind and solar power bases and transmit wind and solar power to China, South Asia and Southeast Asia. In the case of clean power generation curtailment, thermal power would be transported instead through the same transmission channels. Northeast Asia Northeast Asia: The Republic of Korea and Japan are load centers with limited clean energy potential; they need to increase clean energy imports from Russia, Mongolia and China. West Asia West Asia: build large solar power bases to transmit electricity east to South Asia and west to Europe; transform the fossil fuel base to a clean energy base. Central Asia South Asia South Asia: it is hard to realize self-reliant for clean energy supply; power transmission from China, Central Asia and West Asia could tackle the power shortage problem. China Southeast Asia: the difficulty of massively developing hydropower in the seen future and balancing demand and supply makes it necessary Southeast to import power Asia from neighboring countries. 18

19 3. Layout for Asian Energy Interconnection China s role: a hub and a platform To the North: accommodate electricity from Mongolia, Russia and even the Arctic; to the West: import surplus power from Central Asia; to the South: transmit power to South Asia and Southeast Asia China can be a power reservoir relying on a nationally interconnected strong and smart grid to regulate power supply and demand, providing a strong pillar for the Asian Energy Interconnection. 2 特高压重点工准东哈密程 扎鲁特胜利锡盟 240 锡盟 东北华北背靠背 1620 蒙西北京东 北京西 210 酒泉晋北 178 上海庙天津南榆横 164 太阳山 316 晋中 199 青州 石家庄济南 228 潍坊 1720 晋东南 1119 临沂郑州 362 泰州南阳 淮南南京苏州皖南上海 63 荆门苏南 165 南汇 浙北绍兴 6 ACand 7 DC UHV transmission lines in operation 雅砻江梯级 :AC lines including Southeast of Shaanxi -Nanyang-Jinmen, South of Anhui- 浙中 2059 浙西 120 North of Zhejiang-Shanghai, North of Zhejiang -Fuzhou, Ximeng-Shandong, 金沙江 I 期 South 1907 of Anhui-Nanjing -Shanghai,, Xiluodu -West of Zhejiang, 浙南 Ea st of Ningxia-Zhejiang, Yunnan-Guangdong, Nu ozhadu -Guangzhou, and 1653 West of Inner Mongolia-South of Tianjin; 湘潭 DC lines including 279 Xiangjiaba-Shanghai, Jinpin-South of Jiangsu, and South of Hami-Zhengzhou 福州 2 A C a nd 7 DC UHV t ransmission lines under construction: AC lines including Shengli-Ximeng, and Yuheng-Weifang; DC lines in cluding North of Shaanxi-Jiangsu, Ximeng-Jiangsu, Shanghaimiao-Shandong, Jiuquan-Hunan, Huaidong-South of Anhui, and Zhalute- Qin gzhou 图例 1000 千伏交流 ±800 千伏直流 ±1100 千伏直流直流换流站分层接入 19

All the power receiving countries could save power purchasing cost of more than 10 billion USD per year. Bring Economic gains 2 Power load centers receive more than 360TWh of clean power from foreign countries to make their power sources more diversified. Guarantee power supply and security 3 Replace 150 million tons of raw coal, and reduce CO2 emission by 300 million tons, and NOx, SO2 and smoke and dust by 1.65 million tons every year. Promote clean and low-carbon development 25

26 Three Proposals 1 Governments are expected to play their leading role to the full to establish relevant mechanism. Build an inter-governmental cooperative framework and working mechanisms for energy infrastructure connectivity to induce supportive policies from different countries for clean energy development and grid connectivity. 2 International organizations and research institutes are expected to take an active part in jointly pushing forward the fundamental research. Strengthen research for construction plans of large-scale energy bases in Asia, grid interconnection proposals, and key technologies and equipment to guide and drive the scientific development of the Asian Energy Interconnection. 3 Relevant sectors and enterprises are expected to work together for the project implementation. prioritize a batch of mature and profitable renewable energy bases and transnational grid interconnection projects, and incorporate them into related nations power planning in order to materialize their implementation as soon as possible. 26

27 Closing Remarks Building the Asian Energy Interconnection and developing renewable energy is in common interest for all Asian nations. Let s all work together with a pioneering and innovative spirit and look towards the future, so we can bring the Asian energy transition to us earlier and make a positive contribution to its sustainable development. 27
