Description

[0002] The energy structure will eventually shift towards low-carbon and high-proportion renewable energy. Currently, my country is controlling carbon emissions from the power sector, especially thermal power, through diversified means. Gas-fired power generation, as one of the thermal power sources, has also become a key area of ​​focus for reducing carbon emissions. The carbon trading market, as a low-cost market-based means of emission reduction, is gradually becoming an effective tool for achieving carbon neutrality. With the development of hydrogen energy technology, hydrogen, with its high calorific value, can improve the power generation efficiency of the mixed fuel when mixed with natural gas, thereby effectively reducing carbon emissions. Based on the experience of developed countries, the total carbon quota control in the domestic carbon trading market will become stricter in the future, and it will be more difficult for power generation companies to obtain free carbon quotas. Gas-fired power generation companies cannot ignore the impact of carbon costs on their costs and revenues when participating in carbon and electricity market transactions.

[0003] When conducting economic evaluations for existing natural gas power generation projects during the initial investment decision-making phase, only power generation costs and revenues are typically considered. However, with the changing low-carbon market environment driven by dual carbon targets, the impact of new technologies and factors such as carbon market trading and hydrogen blending on the economic benefits of natural gas power generation projects cannot be ignored. Currently, the economic evaluation methods and modeling for such projects do not comprehensively consider both factors, leading to uncertainty regarding the future economic benefits of newly constructed natural gas power generation projects.

By prioritizing low-carbon benefit assessment at the project decision-making stage, it accurately quantifies the cost impact on project implementation. This is a necessary process to improve the accuracy of project economic evaluation in the future low-carbon market and a crucial element in enhancing corporate investment decisions. Adding carbon factors and the impact of hydrogen-blended power generation to the early project evaluation stage also encourages companies to consider carbon emissions more carefully when making investment decisions, thereby increasing their motivation for emission reduction and focusing on green and low-carbon transformation to adapt to future market changes.

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail through specific embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific embodiments are provided only for a better understanding of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terminology used is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0029] To address the problem that existing natural gas power generation projects fail to consider the impact of future low-carbon market factors on project economics during the initial investment decision-making process, thus failing to accurately reflect the profitability of projects adapting to low-carbon market development trends, this invention proposes a method and system for evaluating the benefits of natural gas power generation based on carbon trading and hydrogen blending. The method includes collecting evaluation data from natural gas power generation projects; conducting an economic evaluation of the projects based on the data; determining whether carbon trading is necessary and whether hydrogen should be introduced as a partial energy substitute for natural gas based on the carbon emissions of the projects; calculating a suitable hydrogen blending ratio based on the cost of introducing natural gas and the reduction in carbon emissions; and calculating the impact of carbon trading and hydrogen blending on the natural gas power generation projects, thereby assessing the benefits of natural gas power generation. The following detailed description of the invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, illustrates the solution in detail.

[0030] Example 1 This embodiment discloses a method for evaluating the benefits of natural gas power generation based on carbon trading and hydrogen blending, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps: S1 obtains evaluation data for natural gas power generation projects.

[0031] The evaluation data includes basic data such as market, environmental, and technical information of the construction project, collection of project calculation period; fixed asset, working capital investment and other investment estimates; predicted product sales volume and annual output; predicted product prices, including recent prices and expected price fluctuations; cost and expense estimates and their composition.

[0032] S2 predicts the project's total cost, total revenue, and economic evaluation indicators based on the evaluation data.

[0033] Determine the business model for the construction project, and based on the acquired basic data and calculation parameters, calculate the following in sequence: total investment estimate table, construction investment summary table, investment use plan and financing table, construction period interest estimate table, total cost estimate table, operating income and tax estimate table, and working capital estimate table.

[0034] The methods for calculating economic evaluation indicators include: Based on the evaluation data of natural gas power generation projects, calculating the economic performance evaluation indicators for power plant construction projects. These indicators include static and dynamic indicators. Static indicators include total investment return rate, net profit margin on equity, static investment payback period, debt-to-equity ratio, interest coverage ratio, and debt service coverage ratio. These indicators are calculated without considering the time value of money, based on the total investment estimate table, construction investment summary table, investment utilization plan and financing table, construction period interest estimate table, total cost estimate table, operating revenue and tax estimate table, and working capital estimate table. Dynamic indicators include: internal rate of return and net present value (NPV). These indicators are calculated with consideration of the time value of money, based on the same tables.

[0035] Based on the evaluation data, S3 calculates the total carbon emissions of the project and determines whether the total carbon emissions exceed the preset carbon emissions. If so, it purchases carbon emission credits or reduces carbon emissions by generating electricity with hydrogen. Otherwise, it adds the cost of purchasing carbon emission credits to the total cost of the project and adds the revenue from selling carbon emission credits to the total revenue of the project.

[0036] The method for calculating the total carbon emissions of a project is as follows: identify the sources of carbon emissions from natural gas power generation projects and clarify the carbon emission accounting boundary. The main sources of carbon emissions from natural gas power generation projects are fuel combustion and purchased electricity. The accounting boundary is the power generation facilities, including combustion systems, steam and water systems, electrical systems, control systems, etc. Other auxiliary production systems and ancillary production systems in the plant area are not considered for the time being. If the power plant needs to purchase additional electricity, the carbon emissions from purchased electricity also need to be considered.

[0037] The activity levels of each carbon emission source are calculated separately; based on the installed capacity of the gas turbine in the natural gas power generation project and the hourly natural gas consumption of the gas turbine unit, the annual gas consumption of the project is calculated. Fuel consumption needs to be calculated according to the type of gas turbine used in the project. The calculation formula is as follows: The project's annual gas consumption (10,000 t / a) = hourly gas consumption (Nm3 / h) * annual power generation hours of the unit (h).

[0038] Based on the activity level, the project's energy consumption indicators are defined, and the total annual carbon emissions of the project are calculated according to the carbon emission measurement basis and carbon emission calculation formula.

[0039] The pre-set carbon emission calculation method is as follows: Unit quota = Power generation baseline value * Unit power generation * Correction factor.

[0040] The formula for calculating carbon emissions is:

[0041] Among them, E 燃烧 Emissions from natural gas combustion are expressed in tons of carbon dioxide (tons of CO2); FC represents natural gas consumption for gaseous fuels, expressed in 10,000 standard cubic meters (10 4 Nm³); CC represents the carbon content of natural gas, for gaseous fuels, and the unit is tons of carbon per 10,000 standard cubic meters (tons of C / 10). 4 Nm³); OF is the carbon oxidation rate of natural gas, expressed as a percentage; 44 / 12 is the ratio of the relative molecular masses of carbon dioxide to carbon.

[0042] Based on the composition and physical properties of the natural gas sourced for the project, the volume concentration of gas components, the number of carbon atoms in the gas components, and the formula for calculating the carbon content of natural gas are derived:

[0043] Where V is the volume concentration of the gas component, %; CN n This represents the number of carbon atoms in the gaseous component.

[0044] The costs or benefits of purchasing and / or selling carbon emissions are included in the project's economic evaluation calculation table. Carbon emission costs are included in the production cost item of the total cost estimate table on an annual basis, and carbon emission revenues are included in the operating revenue and tax estimate table on an annual basis. Expenses are included in the "Total Operating Revenue" or "Total Total Cost" item. Other financial statements are updated, and then the project's economic evaluation indicators under the impact of carbon trading are calculated.

[0045] In this embodiment, the carbon emission preset amount is determined based on the quota allocation basis published by the state to determine the quota amount of each type of unit in the natural gas power generation project. The calculation formula is: unit quota amount = power generation benchmark value * unit power generation * correction coefficient; the quota amount of each type of unit is added together to obtain the total quota amount of the entire natural gas power generation project.

[0046] In this embodiment, the method for calculating the cost or benefit of purchasing and / or selling carbon emissions is as follows: Calculate the carbon quota amount for the project to be included in the national carbon emission trading system; determine the carbon emissions generated during the actual production process of the project through measurement or emission factor methods; finally, calculate the carbon emission quota gap using the following formula: Carbon emission quota gap = Actual carbon emissions of the project - Carbon emissions of the project included in the national carbon emission trading system.

[0047] The costs or benefits of purchasing and / or selling carbon emissions are calculated based on the average carbon price of the year. The formula for calculating the carbon emission costs / benefits a project needs to pay in a given year, based on the average carbon price of that year, is as follows: Carbon emission cost = Carbon emission allowance gap * Average carbon price of the year Carbon emission revenue = - Carbon emission quota gap * Average carbon price of the year.

[0048] The project's economic evaluation indicators under the influence of carbon trading are calculated, the total cost of the project before and after considering carbon emissions is compared, the comprehensive impact of carbon emissions on project costs is assessed, the total revenue of the project before and after considering carbon emissions is compared, and the comprehensive impact of carbon emissions on project revenue is assessed.

[0049] If S4 needs to reduce carbon emissions through hydrogen blending for power generation, calculate the carbon emissions and hydrogen blending costs under the original hydrogen blending ratio, adjust the hydrogen blending ratio until the sum of the hydrogen blending cost and the carbon emission cost is minimized, and add it to the total cost of the project.

[0050] Average lower heating value after hydrogen doping The calculation formula is:

[0051] Where, p H2 This refers to the hydrogen blending ratio, expressed as a decimal, for example, 20% is 0.2; LHV H2 The lower heating value (LHV) of hydrogen is given in MJ / kg. NG The lower heating value of natural gas is expressed in MJ / kg. Hydrogen-doped power generation efficiency The calculation formula is:

[0052] in, This refers to the efficiency of natural gas power generation, in 10,000 tons per kWh. This refers to the efficiency of hydrogen power generation, in 10,000 tons per kWh. Unit power consumption The calculation formula is:

[0053] The carbon emissions of a power plant after hydrogen blending are calculated using the following formula:

[0054] Among them, EF NG Carbon emission factor of natural gas, grams of CO2 per unit of fuel; EF H2 For hydrogen production, such as water electrolysis, the carbon emission factor is theoretically 0; P total This represents the total power generation of the power plant, in kWh.

[0055] The hydrogen consumption and the reduction in natural gas consumption due to hydrogen blending are calculated by determining the hydrogen blending ratio. Based on the market prices of hydrogen and natural gas in the power plant's location, the hydrogen fuel cost and the reduction in natural gas cost due to hydrogen blending are calculated separately. Hydrogen fuel cost. The calculation formula is:

[0056] Reduced natural gas costs due to hydrogen blending The calculation formula is:

[0057] Among them, P H2 The market price of hydrogen is in yuan / ton; This represents annual power generation, in kWh / a.

[0058] The change in carbon emissions of the power plant before hydrogen co-firing and the resulting costs or benefits are calculated and included in the total cost and expense table, while the natural gas feedstock cost substitution portion in the total cost and expense table is deducted.

[0059] S5 calculates the rate of return of a natural gas power generation project based on the project's total cost, total revenue, and economic evaluation indicators, and evaluates the benefits of natural gas power generation.

[0060] Based on the positive benefits and costs of carbon trading and hydrogen blending power generation, the project profitability of a natural gas power generation project considering carbon trading and hydrogen blending power generation is calculated. In this embodiment, the cost of the natural gas power generation project is the sum of hydrogen fuel gas cost, saved natural gas cost, and carbon cost. The positive benefit of the natural gas power generation project is the sum of carbon trading revenue exceeding the free allocation. Based on the determined impact of carbon trading and hydrogen blending power generation on the cost and revenue items of the natural gas power generation project, the project profitability is evaluated. Based on the project's total cost, total revenue, and economic evaluation indicators, the method for calculating the rate of return of a natural gas power generation project is as follows: Calculate the positive costs of carbon trading and hydrogen blending power generation; determine the hydrogen fuel cost and natural gas reduction cost resulting from hydrogen blending power generation; and determine whether the sum of the carbon emission reduction from hydrogen blending power generation and the project's original carbon emissions exceeds the project's free allowance. If the project exceeds the free allowance, the excess will incur carbon costs. Therefore, the total cost of the project... The calculation formula is:

[0061] in, The cost of hydrogen fuel is due to hydrogen-blended power generation. It's the cost of carbon. The reduction in natural gas costs due to hydrogen blending; determine the total original carbon emissions of the project and the carbon emissions reduced due to hydrogen blending power generation, calculate the difference between the two. If the difference is greater than 0, calculate the carbon revenue of the project. If the difference is less than 0, carbon trading and hydrogen blending power generation do not generate positive revenue. Based on economic evaluation indicators, compare the rate of return of the project before and after considering carbon trading and hydrogen blending power generation to evaluate the benefits of natural gas power generation.

[0062] Example 2 Based on the same inventive concept, this embodiment discloses a natural gas power generation benefit evaluation system based on carbon trading and hydrogen blending power generation, including: The data acquisition module is used to acquire evaluation data for natural gas power generation projects; The economic evaluation index calculation module is used to predict the total cost, total revenue, and economic evaluation index of a project based on evaluation data. The carbon emission calculation module is used to calculate the total carbon emissions of the project based on the evaluation data, and to determine whether the total carbon emissions exceed the preset carbon emission limit. If so, carbon emission allowances are purchased or carbon emissions are reduced by hydrogen co-generation. Otherwise, carbon emission allowances are sold, and the cost of purchasing carbon emission allowances is added to the total cost of the project, and the revenue from selling carbon emission allowances is added to the total revenue of the project. The hydrogen blending power generation calculation module is used to calculate the carbon emissions and hydrogen blending costs under the original hydrogen blending ratio if it is necessary to reduce carbon emissions through hydrogen blending power generation. It then adjusts the hydrogen blending ratio until the sum of the hydrogen blending cost and the carbon emission cost is minimized, and adds it to the total cost of the project. The power generation benefit evaluation module is used to calculate the rate of return of natural gas power generation projects based on the project's total cost, total revenue, and economic evaluation indicators, and to evaluate the benefits of natural gas power generation.
