Team Research Directions

The research team is named “Energy Market, Planning and Operation”. Its vision is to address the major transformation in the development of the energy industry by conducting research on the fundamental theories, operating mechanisms, key technologies, and information systems of market trading and planning operation, aiming to lead the disciplinary development in this field and achieve internationally leading overall performance. It provides policy recommendations and critical technologies for the energy-saving, low-carbon, economic and refined development of China’s energy sector.

The main research directions of the Energy Market, Planning and Operation research team include:

1. Power Market and Energy Policy

Including theoretical research and engineering applications in power market mechanism design, identification and modeling of market participants’ decision-making behavior, market equilibrium game analysis, market simulation, and policy formulation and assessment of the energy market system.

2. Dispatch, Operation, and Trading Decisions of Energy Systems

Including theoretical research and engineering applications in power system unit commitment and economic dispatch, modeling and optimization of AC/DC hybrid power flow, nodal pricing and transmission pricing theory, power market trading decisions, and energy consumption mechanism analysis and regulation characteristic modeling of end-users.

3. Planning, Operation Simulation, and Carbon Measurement of Low-Carbon Power Systems

Including theoretical research and engineering applications in coordinated electricity-carbon planning of power systems, power system operation simulation, steady-state/dynamic modeling and planning of multi-energy systems, carbon measurement of electricity consumption in power systems, and carbon emission monitoring for electricity consumption.

The team aims to achieve internationally advanced standing and establish international influence in research fields covering power market and energy policy, operation and trading decisions of energy systems, and planning, operation simulation, and carbon measurement of low-carbon power systems. In these three research directions, the team will demonstrate its domestic and international influence through publishing high-level papers in important domestic and international academic journals, serving as editorial board members and editors of important academic journals, publishing academic monographs, participating in IEEE and CIGRE task forces, delivering keynote and invited speeches at international conferences, undertaking projects under the National Key R&D Program, developing core technologies, and promoting the commercialization of scientific and technological achievements.
