The Research Of Nuclear Power And Thermal Power Production Efficiency Comparison Under The Background Of China’s Ecological Civilization Construction

As a "multi-coal,lean-oil,lean-gas" energy consumption country,thermal power generation is the main body of China’s power structure,of which coal-fired power generation is the predominant part.The large amount of pollution gas and smoke caused by coal-burning bring tremendous pressure on environment.Since the construction of ecological civilization was proposed from The 18th CPC National Congress,this proposal has gained widely attention from all circles of the society.And the government has also listed the construction of ecological civilization as one of the important works.In the construction of resource-saving and environment-friendly society,ecological civilization will become the main social core tasks.Along with the progressing of ecological civilization construction,the traditional structure of power will be gradually adjusted and optimized.Therefore,increase energy utilization efficiency,decrease the cost and improve the profit,which makes great importance on promoting a greener and more sustainable development of China’s power industry.In this article,the current situation of power ecological civilization construction,power industry development and power production efficiency in China is fully learnt.And the relative data of nuclear power industry,thermal power industry,nuclear power enterprises and thermal power enterprises are collected through investigations and surveys.Based on the DEA model,carbon emission constraint is taken.as the theoretical foundation,and the production efficiency of China’s nuclear power generation and thermal power generation are compared and analyzed.The Tobit model is used to discuss the influence factor of nuclear power and thermal power both microscopically and macroscopically.The conclusions are as follows:If the influence of environmental cost(carbon emission)on power generation is considered,nuclear power possesses the advantages on production efficiency aspect over thermal power,no matter microscopically or macroscopically.Which indicates that the development of nuclear power will make great contribution on energy saving,emission reduction and the construction of ecological civilization.Through the comparative analysis,no matter in nuclear industry or in thermal power industry,the production efficiency fluctuates in different time stages.But as time changes,the efficiency gap between nuclear power industry and thermal power industry are enlarged.Which means,the degree of improvement of nuclear power industry is higher than that of thermal power industry.In terms of impact factor analysis,the scale and age of an enterprise help promoting the production efficiency of nuclear power enterprise and thermal power enterprise,while the economy scale and technology development on macroscopic aspects contribute to improve the production efficiency of nuclear power enterprise and thermal power enterprise.
