An Analysis on the Low-carbon Benefits of Smart Grid of China

In order to research the relation between smart grid and low carbon economics, it makes quantitative analysis on the influence exerted by carbon emissions in the power industry over the years, which partially indicates the necessity of low carbon power development. Considered current technology level of smart grid, it proposes suggestions about how to achieve low-carbon electricity. By the method of linear smoothing, it forecasts the value of carbon emissions in the power industry .Meanwhile, figures out the cost of carbon emissions in accordance with the carbon emission prices in international carbon market. Thus, low-carbon benefit of smart grid is 224.57billion yuan, which provides a reference for the construction of smart grid in the coming years.
