『Abstract
Among with high-speed economic development and increasing energy
consumption, the Chinese Government faces a growing pressure to
maintain the balance between energy supply and demand. In 2009,
China has become both the largest energy consumer and CO2 emitting country in the world. In this case,
the inappropriate energy consumption structure should be changed.
As an alternative, a suitable infrastructure for the implementation
of renewable energy may serve as a long-term sustainable solution.
The perspective of a 100％ renewable energy systems has been analyzed
and discussed in some countries previously. In this process, assessment
of domestic renewable energy sources is the first step. Then appropriate
methodologies are needed to perform energy system analyses involving
the integration of more sustainable strategies. Denmark may serve
as an example of how sustainable strategies can be implemented.
The Danish system has demonstrated the possibility of converting
into a 100％ renewable energy system. This paper discusses the
perspective of renewable energy in China firstly, and then analyses
whether it is suitable to adopt similar methodologies applied
in other countries as China approaches a renewable energy system.
The conclusion is that China's domestic renewable energy sources
are abundant and show the possibility to cover future energy demand;
the methodologies used to analyse a 100％ renewable energy system
are applicable in China. Therefore, proposing an analysis of a
100％ renewable energy system in China is not unreasonable.
