Measuring efficiency and technology inequality of China's electricity generation and transmission system: A new approach of network Data Envelopment Analysis prospect cross-efficiency models

Ruchuan Zhang et al.

Summary: In the power sector, the combined performance of electricity generation and transmission system is studied using network data envelopment analysis (DEA) models. The study proposes a new type of network DEA prospect cross-efficiency models to address the potential effects of risk attitudes on the evaluation process. The empirical analysis focuses on China's electricity generation-transmission system and reveals an overall improvement during the analysis period, with the second group identified as the most important driving factor affecting technology diffusion. Method heterogeneity among alternative DEA models is also confirmed, emphasizing the importance of method selection in empirical analysis.

Sources of inefficient power generation by coal-fired thermal power plants in China: A metafrontier DEA decomposition approach

Shogo Eguchi et al.

Summary: This study examines the efficiency changes and sources of inefficiency in coal-fired thermal power plants in China, finding that large-scale power plants have higher efficiency compared to small-scale ones. Operational inefficiency is the main source of inefficiency in eastern and central China, while the technology gap and equipment differences are the main sources in western China.

Determinants of technical inefficiency in China's coal-fired power plants and policy recommendations for CO2 mitigation

Tomoaki Nakaishi et al.

Summary: This study found that Chinese coal-fired power plants have significant potential to reduce coal consumption and mitigate CO2 emissions through technological improvement. The study suggests the Chinese government create a power distribution structure that generates electricity using technologically efficient equipment in areas rich in coal resources and distributes the generated electricity to other areas of the country.
