The Provincial Allocation Of Renewable Portfolio Standard Considering Fairness And Efficiency

Due to the global climate problem and the shortage of fossil energy,clean and sustainable renewable energy is more and more popular.As the largest energy consumption and production country in the world,China is also vigorously developing renewable energy.Although China’s renewable energy development is at the leading level,the consumption of renewable energy is not negative.In the context of the energy revolution,to raise the proportion of renewable energy consumption in the energy consumption structure,the Chinese government has proposed a policy of Renewable Portfolio Standard(RPS).The allocation is the core of the RPS,and the allocation results affect the healthy development of the wind and solar power industry,the balanced development of the economic region and the realization of value synergy.Therefore,it is very important to reasonably formulate the allocation of provincial RPS.However,the literature on the allocation of renewable energy consumption responsibility weight is rare.Considering above statement,this paper studies the allocation of the provincial RPS in China.Firstly,this paper reviews the literature of RPS and quota allocation to summarize the influencing factors of the RPS allocation and common quota allocation methods;then,it introduces the principles and methods of quota allocation;and next,it analyzes and defines the research problem.According to this,this paper proposes the RPS allocation model considering the fairness and efficiency principle.Based on the principle of fairness,this paper applied the three methods of grandfathering,egalitarian and ability to pay calculates the RPS allocation of 30 provinces in 2025.Because these three methods all reflect the fairness of a certain aspect.Therefore,this paper gives the three methods the same weight and calculates the final allocation results under the principle of fairness.Based on the principle of efficiency,this paper applies the zero-sum DEA(ZSG-DEA)model to allocate and adjusts the quota through multiple zero-sum games.When the allocation efficiency of all provinces reaches 1,all provinces achieve effective allocation,and the efficiency of the allocation scheme is optimal.Based on the principle of fairness and efficiency,the entropy weight method is employed to couple the allocation of equity and efficiency principle to form the final allocation plan.The results of the research on the principle of fairness show that there are great differences in the allocation schemes obtained by these three methods,and the allocation schemes obtained after equal weight reallocation reduce the differences of the three allocation results.The empirical results under the principle of fairness show that the allocation schemes obtained by the three methods are quite different,and the allocation scheme obtained by equal weight reallocation reduces the differences among the three allocation results.The empirical results based on the efficiency principle show that after 15 zero-sum games,the allocation efficiency of all provinces has reached 1,which realizes effective allocation.Considering the principle of fairness and efficiency,the empirical results show that the scheme under the principle of fairness gets more weight.Comparing the results of the three principles,it founds that the allocation schemes under different principles are quite different,and the final allocation scheme has obvious advantages in efficiency compared with the scheme formulated by the state.The results can provide a reference for China to formulate a fair and effective RPS.In addition,this model has some reference significance for the municipalities to determine the RPS.
