Abstract

Realizing the real-time monitoring of carbon emissions from coal-fired power plants is of great significance to achieve the double carbon target. At present, the carbon emission monitoring system of coal-fired power plants in China has a serious lag in timeliness, low data collection efficiency, and is not conducive to data mining and management. In this paper, we design a real-time carbon emission monitoring system to address the above problems, integrating the material conservation method and emission factor method to establish a real-time carbon emission calculation model. In this paper, we tested a supercritical unit of a power plant in Jiangxi Province, and the test results show that the system can account for the carbon emission of coal-fired power plants in real time, visualize and monitor the carbon emission data of coal-fired power plants in Jiangxi Province in real time, display the data in a more intuitive and easy to understand way, and improve the efficiency of collecting carbon emission data of coal-fired power plants. It provides powerful data support for coal-fired power plants’ carbon emission accounting and assessment as well as carbon trading economics research.
