【论文推荐】全球能源互联网发展合作组织俞凯峰等：环地中海电网互联项目综述与能源系统减排路径研究

摘要

目前，中东北非地区仅有马格里布国家（摩洛哥、阿尔及利亚、突尼斯）以及土耳其实现了与欧洲电网的同步互联，电力基础设施互联互通不足限制了中东北非太阳能和风能的大规模开发，导致区域能源低碳转型进展缓慢。同时，欧盟委员会近年来提出了应对气候变化一揽子计划提案，核心措施是能源生产、配置、消费路径的绿色转型。对应地，欧洲电力传输系统运营商联盟计划加强与中东北非地区的电网互联建设。本研究系统梳理了环地中海地区电网互联项目现状与规划展望，分析了相关市场、技术、金融、监管领域的改革路径，提出相关国别一是需要加强国内电源、电网协同规划建设，提高电网技术标准的区域一体化程度；二是要降低私人和国际资本的市场准入门槛，提高电力市场自由度；三是要稳步提高工业、交通、建筑部门的电气化程度，积极探讨在中东北非地区建设“水-电-氢联动发展模式”示范项目。

Review of Trans-Mediterranean power grid interconnection

Abstract

Climate change is becoming an important issue in all fields of infrastructure development. Electricity plays a core role in the decarbonized energy system’s path to a regional zero-emission pattern. A well-built trans-Mediterranean backbone grid can hedge the profound evolution of regional power generation, transmission, and consumption. To date, only Turkey and the Maghreb countries (i.e., Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia) are connected with the Continental European Synchronous Area. Other south- and east-shore countries have insufficient interconnection infrastructures and synchronization difficulties that have proven to be major hurdles to the implementation of large-scale solar and wind projects and achievement of climate goals. This study analyzes the current trans-boundary grid interconnections and power and carbon emission portfolios in the Mediterranean region. To align with the recently launched new climate target ‘Fit for 55’ program and the accelerated large-scale renewables target, a holistic review of projected trans-Mediterranean grids and their market, technical, and financial obstacles of implementation was conducted. For south- and east-shore countries, major legal and regulatory barriers encompassing non-liberalized market structure, regulation gaps of taxation and transmission tariffs, and the private sector’s access rights need to be removed. Enhancement of domestic grids, substations, and harmonized grid codes and frequency, voltage, and communication technology standards among all trans- Mediterranean countries are physical prerequisites for implementing the Trans-Mediterranean Electricity Market. In addition, the mobilization of capital instruments along with private and international investments is indispensable for the realization of supranational transmission projects. As the final section of the decarbonization roadmap, the development of electric appliances, equipment, and vehicles with higher efficiency is inevitable in the decarbonized building, transportation, and industry sectors.
