In order to fully mobilize social capital to invest in energy, enhance energy investment efficiency, expand energy financing channels,and increase the vitality of the energy industry, the state has recently issued the Implementing Opinions on Deepening the Reform of Investment and the Financing System in the Energy Industry( "Opinions"). This paper provides a deep interpretation of this document from the perspectives of the background for the investment and financing system reform in the energy industry,the main content of the reform, the problems and challenges confronting the reform,and the expected effects from the reform, and analyzes the objectives, ideas and problems of the reform, in order to effectively promote the investment and financing system reform in the energy industry.展开更多

The development of wind energy is a systematic project, involving policy, law, technology, economy, society, environment, education and other aspects. The relationship among all the aspects should be well treated and coordinated. This paper has discussed the following relationships which should be well coordinated: relationship between wind resources and wind energy development, relationship between the wind turbine generator system and the components, relationship between wind energy technology and wind energy industry, relationship between off-grid wind power and grid-connected wind power, relationship between wind farm and the power grid, relationship between onshore wind power and offshore wind power, relationship between wind energy and other energies, relationship between technology introduction and self-innovation, relationship among foreign-funded, joint ventured and domestic-funded enterprises and relationship between the government guidance and the market regulation, as well as giving out some suggestions.展开更多

Toward this end, the Biden administration and the US Congress have increased support for the domestic clean energy industry through industrial policies and leveraged allied resources to achieve their agenda for this industry. A major target of the policies adopted by the Biden administration is competition with China. The approaches include politicizing the clean energy industry, linking investment access policies related to the clean energy industry with so-called national security considerations, and upgrading trade barriers against China. The competition orientation and policy measures of the US government in the field of clean energy industry will pose challenges to the international development of the clean energy industry in China. However, the US competition with China in the clean energy industry will be restricted due to domestic partisan politics and other factors. Thus, the potential exists for cooperation between China and the United States in the clean energy industry, which could create favorable conditions for the two countries to build a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship.展开更多

A spatial autocorrelation model, the center of gravity model, and index system of the regional central city are used to probe the evolution laws of spatial structure of oasis economy. The study finds that: 1) The economic centre of gravity, whose variation track during this period follows linear rate law, was moving from headstream to middle reaches of the Tarim River. 2) Positive spatial autocorrelation which showed a waving and ascending trend of regional economy was significant and the neighbor effect of regional economic growth was strengthened continuously. 3) The regional economic centre was located in Hotan City before 1980, moved to Aksu City during the 1980s and to Korla City after 1990. We conclude that above all, during the recent four decades the evolution of the oasis economy in this region has gone through three stages: a traditional agriculture stage (before 1980), oasis agriculture and agricultural product processing stage (1980–1990) and oasis energy industry stage (after 1990). Furthermore, the dependence degree of the oasis economy on natural resources in different stages are studied by using dominance index, regression model, and grey relation method, which shows that an oasis econ- omy highly depends on water resources in the oasis agriculture and agricultural product processing stage while it de- pends more on mineral resources such as oil and natural gas during the oasis energy industry stage.展开更多

There is abundant literature on the efficiency in steam boilers. However, few deal exclusively with feedwater systems. The total horsepower in boiler feed pumps and the corresponding energy consumption estimated for Brazilian industries are as follows: 110.5 MWE of motor driven power and a yearly electricity consumption of 442 GWh for a population of 7,800 steam boilers, approximately. It is estimated that there can be an efficiency improvement in feedwater systems for industrial boilers of 30% on average. To a large extent, these opportunities reside in older boilers that are very common in the Brazilian industrial sector. The most common causes for the low efficiency of feedwater systems are: the control loop of the feedwater, oversized boilers and excessive operational pressure set. Sometimes, the boiler feedwater system can present more than one problem simultaneously. Any kind of solution involves some speed regulation, new pump and number of pumps. Each problem generation facilities were selected in which common inefficiencies cases, the improvement in efficiency can get to 37%. form of intervention in boiler feed pumps, such as: impeller trim, may have more than one solution. Three distinct industrial steam are present. The suggested solutions were analyzed. In these three展开更多

文摘Based on the data of listed companies in the core industry chain of China's new energy vehicles in 2015 and 2021,this paper constructs their industrial network from the perspective of the value chain,and uses methods such as social network and negative binomial regression model to study the characteristics,evolution,differences,and formation mechanisms of different value chain networks.The results show that:(1)R&D-oriented,production-oriented,and service-oriented networks share several common features:These networks are simultaneously expanding in scale and transitioning towards more efficient“small world”network;The degree distribution in these networks follows a power-law distribution,indicating a scale-free network structure;There is a decrease in the power-law exponent of network's degree distribution,indicating an increase in network heterogeneity.Furthermore,there is a significant positive correlation between the degrees of nodes in networks with diverse value chains,suggesting that the same node holds a similar level of significance across different networks.(2)The number of power-prestige,power and prestige nodes increases in the networks of all value chain segments,except in the service-oriented network,where there are no power nodes.In each value chain network,these nodes have different agglomeration directions:In R&D-oriented network,the nodes tend to cluster around headquarters and high-level cities.In contrast,service-oriented network shows a concentration of nodes in municipalities,sub-provincial and provincial capitals.Similarly,production-oriented network demonstrates a clustering of nodes in traditional production bases.(3)Different value-added segments of industry form different types of agglomeration in pursuit of different factor endowments and agglomeration effect,and form the spatial structure of the strongest connection industrial network with different characteristics.The R&D-oriented networks have always been an integrated and closely connected multiple core-periphery structure community with the influence of social,technological and geographical proximities;Transformation of service-oriented network from an integrated and closely connected multiple core-periphery structure community to a multiple core-semi-periphery-periphery structure community with the influence of social,geographical and institutional proximities;Transformation of production-oriented network from the partially integrated and localized core-periphery structure community to the more decentralized multiple independent core-periphery structure community with the influence of the social,institutional of administrative boundaries and geographical proximities.
