Results and Discussion Based on the power supply and power grid planning of a certain regional power grid in 2025, the coal power, NERs, and energy storage capacity of the regional power grid in the scenario of a high, medium, and low proportion of NERs access are optimized and calculated.
Therefore, combined with national and regional policies and resource constraints in China, this paper firstly determines the requirements and boundary conditions of various power supply planning in the regional power system and proposes a “generation-grid-load-energy storage” coordination mode.

Planning scheme of regional power system. On the power supply side, complementary coupling between conventional power sources such as coal power, natural gas power, wind power, photovoltaic power, hydropower, and new energy resources can be realized by utilizing the flexible adjustment characteristics of conventional power sources.
