2022年夏、四川省は未曾有の熱波と干ばつに見舞われ、水力発電が低下し、火力発電を急増させた。本研究はARIMAモデルを用い、政策・経済要因を除去した純粋な気象要因による電力不足（33,142 GWh）と火力増加（6,806 GWh）を定量化。これにより、NOx、CO2排出増加とオゾン汚染悪化など環境リスクの連鎖を明らかにし、持続可能なエネルギーシステムへの対策を提案した。
English
This study quantifies the power shortage (33,142 GWh) and thermal generation increase (6,806 GWh) during the 2022 Sichuan compound drought-heatwave by stripping out policy and economic factors via ARIMA modeling. It calculates implied emission increases, including CO2 amounting to 8.16% of annual power-sector emissions, and highlights cascading environmental risks (e.g., ozone pollution) and a reinforcing feedback loop with extreme weather. The paper proposes preventive strategies for sustainable energy development.

日本のGX文脈において
中国四川省の事例だが、日本の夏期電力需給逼迫や気候変動リスク対策に示唆を与える。特に、再生可能エネルギー（水力）の不安定性とバックアップ電源（火力）の環境負荷増大のトレードオフは、日本のエネルギー政策（GX実行会議）でも重要課題である。
In the global GX context
This empirical study from China demonstrates the cascading risks from compound extreme weather on power systems, with clear implications for global climate risk assessment and energy planning. It highlights the need to account for non-meteorological factors when modeling weather-driven power shortages, and the feedback loop between increased emissions and extreme weather is relevant for global decarbonization pathways.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:GX researchers studying climate risk to energy systems will find the 'squeeze verification method' and quantified emission feedbacks valuable for integrating weather and energy models.
🏢実務担当者:Corporate sustainability teams exposed to physical climate risks in energy-intensive operations should note the cascading effects of drought on electricity supply and emissions.
🏛政策担当者:Regulators planning energy resilience under climate change should consider the reinforcing feedback between emergency fossil fuel use and extreme weather.
📄 Abstract（原文）
In summer 2022, Sichuan suffered an unprecedented compound heatwave-drought, cut-ting hydropower output and forcing a rapid coal-fired power ramp-up to secure supply, driving elevated emission intensities in its power sector. However, the fluctuations in power generation from thermal power and hydropower are significantly influenced by policy and economic factors. In meteorological-electrical coupling research, it is necessary to isolate the disturbances caused by major non-meteorological factors such as policy and economics on power generation to identify the true role of meteorological conditions. Therefore, this study proposes the “squeeze verification method,” which indirectly verifies the numerical confidence of the power time series variable under non-extreme weather conditions: by integrating CRU meteorological data, WIND energy data, and public environmental data, the ARIMA model is applied to quantify the power shortage amount caused purely by meteorological factors after stripping off the economic factors of policies in July–September 2022, which totaled 33,142 GWh, as well as the increase in thermal power generation, which amounted to 6806 GWh. Using localized emission factors, we calculated implicit emission increases: NOx dominated pollutant growth, while extra CO2 emissions accounted for 8.16% of annual power-sector carbon emissions. This study further uncovered synergistic environmental risks tied to emergency coal-fired power generation. These risks include elevated air pollutant and CO2 emissions, aggravated ozone pollution, and a reinforced positive feedback loop that intensifies the extreme weather cycle. Finally, we propose targeted preventive strategies to mitigate these cascading environmental risks and ensure the sustainable development of the energy system.
