Abstract: In order to investigate the effect of different paths of energy-conservation and emission-reduction in electric-coal supply chain, a systematic model is constructed to simulate the energy-conservation and emission-reduction system, considering the economy, energy and environment goals. Taking Shen Hua Group as a case study, first, the parameters and main equations are determined, and the energy consumption, carbon emissions and the path of energy saving and emission reduction are analyzed, and the energy saving and emission reduction effects of different paths are simulated through the system dynamics model. The findings of this study include as follows: at first, the potential for energy saving and emission reduction in process of power generation is greater than other processes; secondly, reducing the standard coal consumption rate of coal-fired units, increasing the proportion of railway transportation in coal transportation, reducing the power consumption coefficient in coal mining, and increasing the investment in environmental protection treatment are effective ways to save energy and reduce emission in the electric-coal supply chain; third, there are differences in energy saving and emission reduction effects of different paths, and reducing the standard coal consumption rate of power generation has the most obvious effect on energy saving and emission reduction.

Key words: energy saving and emissions reduction, electric-coal supply chain, system dynamics, dynamic simulation
