New Energy Power Generation Technologies, Economic Benefits, Environmental Benefits, Dual Carbon Goals, Energy Structure TransformationAbstract
Driven by the global energy structure transformation and the “Dual Carbon” goals, new energy power generation technologies have become a core method to address the depletion of traditional fossil energy and alleviate environmental pollution. Researchers have found that new energy power generation, with its advantages of cleanness, low carbon and dispersed distribution, is gradually becoming a key element in constructing a new energy system. However, it still faces challenges such as unbalanced regional development and insufficient supporting energy storage facilities. This paper sorts out the current development status and core characteristics of mainstream new energy power generation technologies and discusses them from both economic and environmental perspectives. It analyzes the reasons why new energy power generation technologies can cut down power generation costs, evaluates and forecasts their economic performance, and expounds on their carbon emission reduction benefits and ecological impacts. This research holds significant theoretical value and practical relevance for optimizing the energy structure, promoting sustainable development, and providing decision-making references for the green transformation of the energy sector.
