本研究探讨了我国火电行业脱硝技术的选择。本文利用2013年全国运行的1135台火电厂锅炉选择的多项logit模型，分析了政府政策、国家标准的严格程度和特定技术的使用补贴对锅炉选择的影响。结果如下：首先，中国的“十二五”规划可能会使工厂在本研究考察的三种选择中选择最便宜的脱硝技术更具吸引力。第二，“十二五”前各地区技术选择差异显著。这些差异已经消失，也许是由于中国所有地区的经济发展。第三，向使用脱硝设备的工厂提供电价补贴可能会影响其技术选择。这些结果表明，为了降低投资成本，工厂可能会选择最便宜的技术。
This study investigates the choices of denitration technology in the Chinese thermal power sector. Using a multinomial logit model of the choices among 1135 boilers in thermal power plants operating in China in 2013, we analyze how the choices were influenced by government policies, the stringency of national standards, and subsidies for using specific technology. The results are as follows. First, China's 12th Five-year Plan might make it more attractive for plants to choose the cheapest denitration technology among the three options examined in this study. Second, technology choices differed significantly by region before the 12th Five-year Plan period. These differences have disappeared, perhaps due to the economic development across all regions of China. Third, electricity price subsidies offered to plants that use denitration equipment might affect their technology choice. These results suggests that plants might choose the cheapest technology available, in order to lower investment costs.
