Abstract:
The energy consumption of China's social water cycle process and the water consumption of power production is analyzed by taking provincial administ rative regions as the research o bject and year 2017 as the research period. The results show ed that : The total power consumption of Chinacs social water cycle process is 1 0821.81 billion kW· h, accounting for 171 2% of the total power consumption of China's society in 2017; Terminal water consumption is the biggest energy consumption. In 2017, Chinacs electricity production is consumed 6.57 billion m3 of water, accounting for 2% of the total social water consumption; and Thermal power is the most water consuming power source in China, accounting for 78% of the total water consumption in the countrycs electric power development. Based on the calculated results, relevant suggestions are put forword for realizing energy water coordinated security
