| Electric power is the important foundation of economic and social development, as the motive force of economic development, is an important material foundation to develop economy and improve people’s living standard, As an resource-poor city, and its energy consumption ranks second in China, and rational investment for power grid, especially the grid investment to remote are as without electricity has become an important part to improve the quality of electricity services, to enhance enterprise efficiency and to coordinate the social and economic development. However, the sustainable development of remote areas without electricity must take the impact on the environment into consideratation.This paper systematically describes the Life cycle cost theory as well as major domestic remote areas and fully demonstrated the importance and necessity of grid investments. Therefore, in order to realize the sustainable development of economy, environment and society, we need analysis the grid investment to remote to meet the electricity demand of residents.Based on the analysis of the investments mode, main problems faced and Life Cycle Cost Theory, we qualify the cost differences between different modes by modeling three kinds of investments mode, namely concentrated photovoltaic power stations, grid extension and household photovoltaic power generation system, provides the theoretical basis for quantitative analysis of grid investment, this paper also proposes improvement measures in order to improve the power grid enterprises investment performance in remote areas in the process of the development of the power enterprise reformation.In addition, to solve the problems of grid investments in remote areas, this paper proposes feasible investment programs from the point of nation, local areas and remote areas respectively.The study is innovative and practical, it can provide necessary supports and assistances for the development of grid in remote areas. |
