China has made significant strides in addressing emissions through its national carbon market and various regional initiatives. The integration of emissions into economic dispatch is crucial for China, given its reliance on coal-fired power plants. The development of cleaner technologies, such as Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and renewable energy sources, can significantly impact the economic dispatch process. Integrating these technologies into ED models is an ongoing challenge. Harmonizing policies and regulations across regions can facilitate the integration of emissions into ED. International cooperation and robust regulatory frameworks are essential. Modernizing the power grid to accommodate distributed generation and renewable energy sources can enhance the flexibility and efficiency of economic dispatch while reducing emissions. The integration of atmospheric pollutant emissions into the economic dispatch of power systems is essential for achieving sustainable energy goals. While it presents significant challenges, advancements in optimization techniques, regulatory frameworks, and technology offer promising solutions. By balancing economic and environmental objectives, the power sector can contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable future.
