| Abstract | This study analyzes the effects of a renewable portfolio standard policy on power sector in term of primary energy supply consumption, total cost, energy security indices, GHGs, and local emissions. RPS policy is studied by both electricity generation standard and installed capacity standard. The study shows that the effect of RPS policy on power sector would be mainly shifting from gas and large scale hydro to renewable energy and petroleum during period from 2000 to 2050. Gas and large scale hydro would reduce 24.7% and 11.6%, respectively while RE would increase 56% and petroleum would increase 6.3% in RPS30PG scheme. The energy security in term of energy import dependency under RPS schemes applied for power sector would improve. For example, RPS30PG scheme would help to reduce the dependency on import energy 5.8% in 2040 and 13.9% in 2050. The energy intensity of RPS schemes would be lower than the base case from 2005 to 2035 and higher after that during the planning horizon. For example, EI of RPS30PG case would be lower than the base case from 2005 to 2035 with the largest reduction of 4.8% in 2030 and 0.6% higher in year 2040 and 2045. Similar with the EI, the per capita primary energy consumption of RPS schemes would be lower than the base case from 2005 to 2035 and higher after that. For example, PCPEC of RPS30PG case would be lower than the base case from 2005 to 2035 with the largest reduction of 4.8% in 2030 and 0.6% higher in year 2040 and 2045. However, the per capital primary energy consumption of RPS schemes would be higher than the base case during the planning horizon with the largest increase of 3.2% in 2020 of RPS30PG scheme. Total cost of RPS30PG and RPS30PC would be 8.4% and 2.03% respectively higher than the base case. In term of emission, RPS25PG scheme would reduce 3.1 % CO₂ emission, 1.09% NOx emission. The other emission would slightly increase but negligible. |
