Energy conservation is an important prerequisite for the sustainable development of China’s economy and society. China’s energy sector is dominated by coal, which accounts for about 70% of primary energy consumption. The power industry is a primary energy conversion industry, which converts various forms of primary energy into electrical energy and transmits the energy for end-users to use. In the country’s annual power generation, coal-fired power generation accounts for nearly 80%, and this pattern will exist for a long time to come. Therefore, the electric power industry is a key area of energy conservation, development and utilization of clean energy, and an industry with great potential for energy conservation and emission reduction. Its energy conservation, especially reducing the consumption of fossil energy such as coal resources, is important for promoting national energy conservation, consumption reduction, and pollution reduction. It is of great significance for the protection of the ecological environment.
