High altitude wind energy is a clean energy source with abundant reserves and wide distribution. High altitude wind power systems are used to convert high altitude wind energy into electrical energy by means of a tethered aircraft device. Compared with traditional wind power generation, high-altitude wind power generation has the advantages of high-power generation efficiency, strong stability, and fewer restrictions on site selection. However, problems such as the difficulty of breaking through the stabilization and control technology of high-altitude wind power generation and the difficulty of obtaining manufacturing materials have also constrained the development of high-altitude wind power generation. Combined with the current actual development of high-altitude wind power generation, it summarizes and refines the types of high-altitude wind power generation systems, key technologies, development status, problems, and development trends. Firstly, around the design of high-altitude wind power generation system, three kinds of high-altitude wind power generation system design technologies are introduced and their respective advantages and disadvantages are elaborated; then, three key technologies in the high-altitude wind power generation system are proposed and discussed in detail. Finally, the research direction and development prospect of the development and application of high-altitude wind power generation technology are discussed, aiming to provide reference, and thinking for the future research of high-altitude wind power generation.
In recent years, under the goal of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality", the field of renewable energy has made great progress. Offshore wind power technology is expected to become the mainstay of green energy sources in the future due to its advantages of abundant resources and large utilization prospects.

It can also provide reference for the further development of offshore wind power.
The implementation of China's power demand response is affected by the policy and the degree of marketization, and the lack of mature incentive mechanism leads to insufficient incentives that affect the enthusiasm of the response, and the construction of demand response projects is facing many challenges. Therefore, establishing and improving the demand response incentive mechanism and digging more flexible and adjustable resources are important means to ensure the balance of the new power system. Firstly, based on the basic concepts of power demand response incentive methods, implementation necessity and feasibility, this paper investigates and analyzes the theoretical research results of power demand response at home and abroad from the perspectives of demand response potential evaluation methods, incentive methods, implementation strategies of market players and response effect evaluation. Secondly, it also analyzes the significance of the construction status of foreign power demand response projects, and summarizes the domestic power demand response policy orientation, implementation status and practical experience. Finally, after comprehensively considering the theoretical results and practical experience of the implementation of power demand response, relevant suggestions are put forward for the future power demand of China.

To support the construction of a new power system and achieve the Carbon Neutrality and Carbon Peaking goals, it is imperative to clarify the development path of next-generation coal-fired power generation technologies. Through literature review and analysis of technological routes, this study systematically identifies key supporting technologies for the efficient, flexible, low-carbon, and intelligent transformation of coal power. The research findings indicate that high-performance metallic materials are essential for ensuring safe and reliable operation under wide load conditions and frequent start-stop cycles. Technologies such as wide-load combustion combined with nitrogen oxides co-control, chemical looping combustion (CLC), coal/biomass coupling, and green ammonia co-firing can significantly enhance regulation capabilities while reducing carbon emission intensity—where CLC can achieve carbon capture efficiencies exceeding 95%. The conclusion emphasizes that next-generation coal power must fulfill dual roles in “supply assurance” and “flexible regulation” By fostering multidimensional collaborative innovation across materials, combustion processes, fuels, and control systems, it is possible to ensure energy security while effectively supporting high proportions of renewable energy integration and facilitating a low-carbon transition in the electricity system.
