Abstract

In the context of ecological civilization construction (ECC) and energy revolution strategy, there are many studies on ECC or electric power green development (EPGD). However, EPGD and ECC influence each other and are closely related, and there are few studies on the development relationship of EPGD and ECC. Therefore, this paper aims to study the coupling coordination relationship between EPGD and ECC to make them develop in harmony. Firstly, an evaluation index system of EPGD and ECC for their coupling coordination relationship is proposed. Then, this paper combines the coupling coordination degree model (CCDM), improved analytic hierarchy process (AHP) based on cloud model, and regression model to propose a coupling coordination relationship analysis model for EPGD and ECC. The improved AHP based on cloud model can fully reflect the will of decision-makers and effectively deal with the ambiguity and randomness of weight judgment. Finally, this paper conducts an empirical study on Beijing and verifies the applicability of the model proposed in this study. Policy recommendations to promote EPGD and ECC are proposed based on weight analysis, coupling coordination degree (CCD) analysis and regression analysis. This paper provides tools for the study on policies related to power development and ecological civilization.
