Status Quo, Development and Utilization Efficiencies of Wind Power in China

Abstract

As a kind of green and pollution-free renewable energy, wind energy has great development prospects. How to promote the development of the wind power industry and improve the efficiency of wind power development and utilization is an urgent problem that needs to be solved. On the basis of analyzing the current situation of China’s power development, especially wind power development, a data envelopment analysis (DEA) method was used to analyze China’s wind power development and utilization efficiencies from 2005 to 2020. The results show that the development efficiency of China’s wind power was mainly affected by pure technical efficiency, while the utilization efficiency of China’s wind power was mainly affected by scale efficiency. Therefore, when considering wind power development, the management of wind power development should be strengthened, in order to realize the optimal allocation of resources. In terms of wind power utilization, the output scale of wind power utilization should be expanded to increase the contribution of wind power products to the national economy.
