Impact of high temperature on global power supply in 2023 and analysis of countermeasures”

The high temperature in 2023 may have a certain impact on the power supply of various countries, and the specific situation may vary

according to the geographical location and power system structure of different countries. Here are some possible effects:

1. Massive power outages: During hot weather, electricity demand can increase significantly, especially as air-conditioning usage spikes.

If the power supply fails to keep up with demand, it can overload the power system, triggering mass blackouts.

 

2. Reduced power generation capacity: High temperature weather may cause power generation equipment to overheat, and its efficiency

may decrease, resulting in a reduction in power generation capacity. Especially for water-cooled power plants, it may be necessary to limit

power generation to prevent overheating.

 

3. Increased load on transmission lines: Increased electricity demand during hot weather can lead to overloading of transmission lines,

which can lead to power outages or reduced voltage stability.

 

4. Increased energy demand: Higher temperatures increase the demand for electricity in the household, commercial and industrial sectors,

thereby increasing overall energy demand. If the supply cannot meet the demand, there may be an energy supply crunch.

 

To mitigate the impact of high temperatures on electricity supply, countries can take a number of steps:

 

1. Increase renewable energy: The development and utilization of renewable energy, such as solar and wind energy, can reduce dependence on

traditional power generation methods and provide a more stable power supply.

 

2. Improve energy efficiency: Encourage energy conservation measures, including smart grid technologies, energy management systems, and

energy efficiency standards, to reduce electricity demand.

 

3. Improve grid infrastructure: Strengthen grid infrastructure, including upgrading and maintaining transmission lines, substations, and

power equipment to improve the capacity and stability of power transmission.

 

4. Response and preparation for emergencies: formulate contingency plans to strengthen the ability to respond to power interruptions

caused by high temperature weather, including strengthening the ability to repair faults and restore power systems.

 

Most importantly, countries should take corresponding measures according to their actual conditions, including strengthening monitoring

and early warning systems, so as to respond to the potential impact of high temperature weather on power supply in a timely manner.
