What do you think is the main power generation mode in the future?

1. Thermal power Thermal power mainly refers to coal-fired power generation, as well as oil and natural gas. Because the heat generated by burning fossil energy is converted into electric energy, it is called thermal power. Thermal power generation has made immortal contributions to the development of human society. Since the world began to use electricity on a large scale, the proportion of electricity generated by thermal power is absolutely overwhelming. The advantage of thermal power is that it can generate electricity as long as there is fuel (such as coal, oil and natural gas), so it plays a vital role in the safe and stable operation of the power grid. However, due to global warming, the smog in northern China is very serious. Today, when green development is advocated, it is inevitable that thermal power, especially thermal power with poor technical indicators, will gradually withdraw from the historical stage. Of course, this process will not happen overnight.

2. water and electricity. At present, hydropower is undoubtedly the second largest form of power generation after thermal power. The advantages of hydropower are self-evident, clean and pollution-free, and low cost. Moreover, for hydropower stations with good regulation capacity (large reservoir capacity), it can also play the same role as thermal power, which can completely ensure the safe and stable operation of the power grid. China is rich in hydropower resources, ranking first in the world. Although many hydropower resources have been developed, there are still many undeveloped hydropower resources (hydropower resources with good regulation performance). In the near future, hydropower is the most suitable energy form to replace thermal power. Here, let's talk more about what a hydropower station with good regulation performance is. Many times, we can't live without thermal power. Why? Because of the characteristics of thermal power at any time, as long as there is coal, I can generate some electricity. Generally speaking, hydropower is inferior to thermal power because many hydropower stations used to be runoff-type, which means that the reservoir has almost no storage capacity, and the incoming water can only be discharged downstream except for power generation. If you don't come, there will be no electricity at all. But it's different now. At present, the regulation performance of large hydropower stations built in China is very good, that is to say, the storage capacity is very large, and there is a lot of water, which can not be used up for power generation. You can stay in the reservoir and use it when there is little water. If the reservoir is large enough, it can be called at any time. Therefore, many large hydropower stations currently under construction have the same regulation performance as thermal power. Southwest China is rich in hydropower resources, and the proportion of hydropower is already high. For example, in Yunnan power grid, hydropower accounts for more than half.

3. Wind and solar energy. Wind power and solar energy are the most understandable forms of clean and renewable energy, and they are also strongly supported by the state in recent years. However, both forms of energy have inherent disadvantages. First of all, as mentioned above, they cannot be called in a short time, that is, their stability is extremely poor. With the sun and wind, electricity can be generated, but without wind, electricity cannot be generated. However, it is impossible for a hospital to have electricity for a while and no electricity for a while, right? The elevator can't have electricity for the time being, right? Therefore, this form of energy has increased in the power grid, accounting for a certain proportion, which will pose a great threat to the security of the power grid. Another disadvantage is the high cost. At present, wind and solar energy depend on government subsidies to survive. If the subsidy is cancelled, it will be a huge loss.

4. Nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is the future. Although nuclear power feels unsafe, such as Fukushima and Chernobyl, with the progress of technology, nuclear power is a very good form of energy. Moreover, in fact, nuclear power is very safe now, but the public's cognition has inertia. If microreactors can be realized in the future, it will be lawless. The notebook will not be charged for life, and the car will not refuel for life. Wow! But this is just the future. In fact, the recent development of nuclear power is not small, but nuclear power is mostly suitable for coastal areas. This geographical restriction is also a restriction!
