Research on the Energy-Carbon Flow Analysis and Visulization for Enterprises with Coal-fired Captive Power Plants

Abstract

Based on the investigation and analysis of the research status of energy flow and carbon flow methods at home and abroad, this paper proposes a general framework of energy-carbon flow analysis model for enterprises with coal-fired captive power plants. In this model, the mathematical relationship between energy flow and carbon flow in each link of power generation, distribution and consumption within an enterprise is constructed and analyzed. Based on the analysis results, an energy-carbon flow diagram can be easily presented, which helps quickly locate the key position of energy conservation and carbon reduction. In the end of this paper, a papermaking enterprise with coal-fired captive power plant is taken as an example to validate the proposed model, and suggestions for energy saving and emission reduction are put forward.
