Abstract: [Objectives]　The vigorous development of new energy, the construction of a new power system, and the implementation of re-electrification are key measures for advancing the energy revolution. However, the inherent randomness, volatility, and intermittency of wind and solar power generation pose severe challenges to maintaining the supply-demand balance and stability of the power system. As coal-fired power gradually shifts its role toward regulation and support, this study investigates the development pathways of new-generation coal-fired power generation technologies to address the complex demands of the new power system. [Methods]　By comparing flexible, efficient, low-carbon, and intelligent coal-fired power generation technologies, this study systematically summarizes the core principles of various technologies that facilitate the low-carbon transformation of coal-fired power. It analyzes the advantages, disadvantages, and applicability of different technologies in different application scenarios. Additionally, by considering the actual operation of the current power system, this study explores the practical challenges and future directions for the implementation of these technologies. [Conclusions]　New-generation coal-fired power generation technologies represent a crucial pathway for addressing the complex demands of the new-type power system. It is necessary to select technologies based on differentiated scenarios. Future efforts should focus on strengthening technological coordinated innovation, improving policy support, and promoting the transition of the coal-fired power industry to support the in-depth advancement of the energy revolution.
