This paper briefly introduced the calculation method of farm product logistics efficiency in the context of low-carbon economy and analyzed the farm product logistics industry in Jiangsu Province from 2011 to 2020. The results suggested that the input-output efficiency of the farm product logistics industry in Jiangsu was relatively high at the level of logistics technology in the context of low-carbon economy, but there was still room for improvement in the expansion scale; the economic level, industrial agglomeration, and industrial structure had a significant positive effect on the efficiency of farm product logistics, and the environmental constraints had a significant inhibitory effect on the efficiency of farm product logistics. Finally, several suggestions were put forward according to the analysis results.</p> Xiaolu Wang, Danyue Ni Copyright (c) 2024 Strategic Planning for Energy and the Environment https://journals.riverpublishers.com/index.php/SPEE/article/view/21851 Sun, 14 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0100 Installation Technique and Numerical Simulation of Stress on High-Pile Footings During the Translation of Offshore Booster Stations https://journals.riverpublishers.com/index.php/SPEE/article/view/23301 <p>The foundation of the offshore substation mainly adopts the structure of a conductor support frame, and the installation of the upper blocks of the offshore substation mainly employs a lifting vessel for hoisting. The “Zhegen Sha 300 MW Offshore Wind Power Project” adopts a high-pile cap foundation for the offshore substation, making use of a translational installation method for the upper blocks. The innovative foundation design and installation scheme together form the basis of this project, which is explored in detail in this paper. Numerical simulations examining the bearing performance of the high-pile cap foundation during the translational process of the upper blocks are also performed, allowing finer insights into the design and construction of offshore wind power projects.</p> Maoqiang Zhou Copyright (c) 2024 Strategic Planning for Energy and the Environment https://journals.riverpublishers.com/index.php/SPEE/article/view/23301 Sun, 14 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0100 Research on Energy Consumption Model of Heat Pump Air Conditioning System for New Energy Vehicles Based on Digital Technology https://journals.riverpublishers.com/index.php/SPEE/article/view/22971 <p>Energy shortages and environmental degradation are issues that are getting more and more significant globally. New energy vehicles are being promoted by the state due to the advantages of low pollution and low fuel consumption. However, due to battery technology, the range of new energy vehicles cannot meet the needs of users. As the most energy-efficient auxiliary device, the energy consumption of air conditioning will significantly reduce the range of new energy vehicles. In low temperature environments, heating energy consumption will reduce the range of vehicles by more than 50%. Therefore, the research aims to reduce the energy consumption of air conditioning systems in new energy vehicles by reducing load demand and improving operating efficiency. The study designs a low-temperature heat pump air conditioning system based on digital technology and then uses a computational algorithm to construct an energy consumption model for the heat pump air conditioning system of a new energy vehicle. According to the test results, the system’s average increase in heat production after activating the enthalpy charge is 35% and its average COP is 0.14% lower than when switched off. At -5<sup>o</sup>C, the air outlet temperature of the system reaches up to 50.0<sup>o</sup>C. Summer cooling energy consumption increases exponentially with temperature, while winter heating energy consumption decreases linearly with temperature. In addition, the range decreases significantly as the ambient temperature deviates from the human comfort zone. The decline in the winter range is more severe than that in summer, moreover, the range of modern energy vehicles is reduced by 30% at an average winter temperature of -10<sup>o</sup>C. In summary, the low-temperature heat pump system offers greater performance. It is more useful in real-world applications and can offer a rational alternative to air conditioning’s energy-saving tactics.</p> Jingling Qin Copyright (c) 2024 Strategic Planning for Energy and the Environment https://journals.riverpublishers.com/index.php/SPEE/article/view/22971 Sun, 14 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0100 An Empirical Study on the Relationship Between Energy Transformation and Economic Growth – Based on Ramsey Model https://journals.riverpublishers.com/index.php/SPEE/article/view/22947 <p>The study analyzed the interactive relationship between energy transformation and economic growth through the Ramsey model. The energy factor was introduced as an independent factor into the Ramsey model and an application improvement design was carried out. From a micro perspective, the impact of energy and economic factors on net output was analyzed. The research results indicate that the estimated coefficients of fossil energy output elasticity, labor output elasticity, capital output elasticity, and renewable energy output elasticity are 0.740602, 0.708407, 0.454672, and 0.304065, respectively. In addition, the significance tests were all below 0.05, indicating significance. Meanwhile, the elasticity of capital output and labor output complement each other; The output elasticity of fossil fuels and renewable energy are also complementary to each other. In a complementary relationship, the downward trend of one element is often accompanied by the upward trend of another element. This study sorts out the interactive relationship between energy transformation and economic growth, pointing out the direction for the future development of China’s energy economy.</p> Huan Liu Copyright (c) 2024 Strategic Planning for Energy and the Environment https://journals.riverpublishers.com/index.php/SPEE/article/view/22947 Sun, 14 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0100 Prediction and Management of Building Energy Consumption Based on Building Environment Simulation Design Platform DeST and Meteorological Data Analysis Algorithm https://journals.riverpublishers.com/index.php/SPEE/article/view/23521 <p>Currently, the carbon emissions of building energy consumption account for a significant portion of all carbon emissions. How to reduce carbon emissions to achieve carbon neutrality is an important current research direction. Therefore this research builds a predictive algorithm model for analyzing energy consumption data of meteorological buildings using DeST platform for energy saving and emission reduction to achieve carbon neutrality. The new model uses Internet of Things and cloud platform technology to build a simulation building platform, and uses the support vector machine algorithm in the analysis algorithm to vectorize building energy consumption data, which can achieve normalization processing of building energy consumption and meteorological data. By processing building energy consumption data, prediction of building energy consumption at the next moment can be achieved. The experimental results show that the precision and accuracy of the new algorithm are higher than genetic algorithm 1 and 0.15 respectively, and 0.6 and 0.07 higher than clustering analysis algorithm respectively. Therefore, applying this algorithm model to building energy consumption prediction can significantly improve the accuracy and precision of the algorithm.</p> Chaoqin Bai, Junrui Liu Copyright (c) 2024 Strategic Planning for Energy and the Environment https://journals.riverpublishers.com/index.php/SPEE/article/view/23521 Sun, 14 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0100 Soil Moisture Prediction Model Based on Improved GRU Recurrent Neural Network https://journals.riverpublishers.com/index.php/SPEE/article/view/23695 <p>Soil moisture plays a crucial role in land water and energy cycles, and has a certain impact on weather and climate change. In agricultural production, crop moisture status can be determined based on soil moisture, and timely and effective irrigation strategies can be formulated to ensure grain yield while saving water resources, maximizing the value of agricultural water resource utilization, and achieving sustainable development. Therefore, the accuracy of soil moisture prediction has important research value for many fields such as agriculture and climate. In this paper, the super parameters of GRU Recurrent neural network are optimized by intelligent seagull optimization algorithm using a small number of influencing factors, namely, atmospheric temperature, atmospheric humidity, rainfall and soil moisture data, and a soil moisture prediction model is established. The model was used to predict soil moisture for the next 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours, and 48 hours, respectively. The final experiment showed that the model in this paper had better predictive effect on soil moisture, with the best predictive evaluation index data being MAPE (12h) = 4.4120%, R2 (12h) = 0.94605, and RMSE (12h) = 1.9998; By comparing the prediction results of multiple time steps vertically, it was found that the prediction accuracy of the model in this paper decreased more smoothly, meeting the requirements of soil moisture prediction.</p> Guowei Wang, Chunying Wei, Li Yan, Jian Li Copyright (c) 2024 Strategic Planning for Energy and the Environment https://journals.riverpublishers.com/index.php/SPEE/article/view/23695 Sun, 14 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0100 Application of Digital Economy Machine Learning Algorithm for Predicting Carbon Trading Prices Under Carbon Reduction Trends https://journals.riverpublishers.com/index.php/SPEE/article/view/23897 <p>Due to the increasing demand for fossil fuels, excessive emissions of greenhouse gases such as CO<span id="MathJax-Element-1-Frame" class="MathJax" style="position: relative;" tabindex="0" role="presentation" data-mathml="&lt;math xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML&quot; id=&quot;S0.SSx1.p1.m1&quot; display=&quot;inline&quot;&gt;&lt;msub&gt;&lt;mi&gt;&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;mn&gt;2&lt;/mn&gt;&lt;/msub&gt;&lt;/math&gt;"><span id="S0.SSx1.p1.m1" class="math" style="width: 0.428em; display: inline-block;"><span style="display: inline-block; position: relative; width: 0.425em; height: 0px; font-size: 103%;"><span style="position: absolute; clip: rect(0.468em, 1000.43em, 1.303em, -1000em); top: -0.971em; left: 0em;"><span id="MathJax-Span-2" class="mrow"><span id="MathJax-Span-3" class="msub"><span style="display: inline-block; position: relative; width: 0.429em; height: 0px;"><span id="MathJax-Span-4" class="mi"></span><span style="position: absolute; top: -3.855em; left: 0em;"><span id="MathJax-Span-5" class="mn" style="font-size: 70.7%; font-family: MathJax_Main;">2</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> have been caused. With the intensification of global climate anomalies and warming, how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is an important issue currently facing the international community. The influencing factors of carbon price are complex, and accurate prediction of carbon price is a difficult problem. There are still some problems in the existing carbon trading price prediction models, such as insufficient understanding of the enormous potential of machine learning models to ilift the performance. The study will use two machine learning models that can address the shortcomings of traditional artificial intelligence models as the basic prediction models. The specific content includes machine learning prediction models that extend to extreme learning machine theory and fuzzy inference system theory. By integrating data preprocessing algorithms, artificial intelligence optimization algorithms, feature selection algorithms, etc., this study constructs and applies a carbon trading price prediction model from multiple perspectives to compensate for the shortcomings in current research. The corresponding values for each indicator in the algorithm are 5.6214E-12 (maximum), 2.8546E-12 (minimum), 4.0239E-12 (mean), and 5.4402E-13 (variance). Compared with other comparative optimization algorithms, this indicates that the hybrid optimization algorithm is an efficient optimization method for the model, which can effectively optimize different problems. In theory, the proposed multiple improved carbon trading price prediction models can theoretically compensate for the shortcomings in existing carbon trading price predictions.</p> Yisheng Liu, Fang Xu Copyright (c) 2024 Strategic Planning for Energy and the Environment https://journals.riverpublishers.com/index.php/SPEE/article/view/23897 Sun, 14 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0100 Design of Short-Term Power Load Forecasting Model Based on Deep Neural Network https://journals.riverpublishers.com/index.php/SPEE/article/view/23159 <p>In power system operation and planning, the accuracy of short-term power load forecasting is very important. Because of its powerful data processing and modeling ability, deep neural network has become an effective tool to accurately predict short-term power load. In this study, a short-term power load prediction model based on deep neural network is designed, which adopts deep long short-term memory and threshold period unit model, and combines Boosting algorithm for model fusion. The results show that the average absolute percentage error of the model fused by Boosting algorithm is 0.07%, which is 1.02% lower than the average weight method and 0.59% lower than the reciprocal error method. Boosting fusion model can effectively reduce the overall prediction error and maintain high stability of prediction error at peak, plateau and time sampling points, so as to achieve good prediction effect. Specifically, the MAPE of the model fused using Boosting algorithm is 0.07% (95% confidence), which is 1.14% higher than the average weight method and 0.79% higher than the reciprocal error method. The design of short-term power load forecasting model based on deep neural network can provide more accurate prediction for power system operation and planning, and help to improve the operation efficiency and reliability of power system. At the same time, the design and application of this model also provide a new idea and method for the application of deep learning in power system. The introduction of Boosting algorithm further improves the prediction accuracy and stability of the model, which is a major innovation in model design.</p> Qinwei Duan, Zhu Chao, Cong Fu, Yashan Zhong, Jiaxin Zhuo, Ye Liao Copyright (c) 2024 Strategic Planning for Energy and the Environment https://journals.riverpublishers.com/index.php/SPEE/article/view/23159 Sun, 14 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0100 The Relationship Between Green Finance, Sustainable Technological Innovation and Energy Efficiency https://journals.riverpublishers.com/index.php/SPEE/article/view/22959 <p>Sustainable technological innovation can promote this progress in finance. This optimization and upgrading of energy efficiency can provide a good energy environment for green development. The collaborative innovation of financial enterprises has brought such development to the tertiary industry, driving the upgrading of consumer demand, and thus promoting the development of green finance. At this same time, sustainable technological innovation will increase investment in environmental protection, reduce energy consumption, promote the reduction of carbon emissions in the financial industry, and accelerate the development of green finance. This paper uses the data envelopment analysis method to calculate the Marquis production efficiency index, examines the dynamic generation efficiency of intertemporal energy input and output, and calculates the energy efficiency of green finance. This article measures and deconstructs energy efficiency at the provincial level, and pays attention to its changes. The study depicted the efficiency distribution of 28 provinces in two stages of the survey period. By using random kernel estimation for two periods during the survey period, dynamic distribution three-dimensional maps and density contour maps of total factor energy productivity, energy utilization efficiency, and energy allocation efficiency growth rates were drawn for the two periods. The results show that the transfer probability group of energy efficiency and its decomposition terms mainly falls near the diagonal, indicating that TFP and its decomposition term growth rate have certain transferability. From 2005 to 2015, the energy utilization efficiency of the seven economic regions has been significantly improved, and the energy efficiency differences in different regions have gradually converged. The energy efficiency of the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta is the highest and has been continuously improved, followed by the Beijing Delta, the central region, the northeast region and the southwest region are again in terms of energy efficiency. Compared with provinces with relatively poor industrial structures, provinces with better industrial structures do not have significant advantages in energy efficiency, while provinces with higher levels of technological innovation typically have relatively higher energy efficiency.</p> Miaomiao Zhu Copyright (c) 2024 Strategic Planning for Energy and the Environment https://journals.riverpublishers.com/index.php/SPEE/article/view/22959 Sun, 14 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0100 Intelligent Processing of Power Operation Data Based on Improved Apriori Algorithm https://journals.riverpublishers.com/index.php/SPEE/article/view/23969 <p>This paper addresses several problems in the power system. Key challenges include low-power information integration, inappropriate system data management, inaccurate system data updating, and inefficient fault diagnosis. We focus on analyzing and diagnosing transmission line faults using the operation data of the power system. The study incorporates the quantitative identification of statements. This is done using the Apriori big data analysis and calculation method. Additionally, we utilize big data analysis and vast power operation data. We aim to achieve automatic analysis and pinpoint the causes of transmission line faults. Furthermore, we seek to optimize the traditional Apriori calculation method.

The optimized M-Apriori calculation method can analyze the correlation between event index data and faults in real time, and realize automatic diagnosis and analysis of faults through operation data.</p> Xin Zhao, Changda Huang Copyright (c) 2024 Strategic Planning for Energy and the Environment https://journals.riverpublishers.com/index.php/SPEE/article/view/23969 Sun, 14 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0100 Crude Oil Price Bubble Identification and Risk Assessment From Different Spot Markets: Establishing a Sustainable Energy Policy https://journals.riverpublishers.com/index.php/SPEE/article/view/22705 <p>Crude oil, as a strategic energy resource for social development, has witnessed substantial price fluctuations in recent years, impacting the sustainability of economy, ecological environment, and energy security. This paper utilized weekly crude oil price data from January 2003 to March 2023 to examine price bubbles in different markets using the SADF and GSADF methods, identified the duration of price bubbles by comparing the BSADF series with critical value series, assessed the risk of price bubbles in different markets using the established comprehensive indicators, and explored sustainable energy policies from the perspectives of both crude oil importers and exporters. The findings of this study indicate that bubbles exist in the world’s major crude oil markets, with linkages and differences in their origin and termination across different markets. The risk of price bubbles varies widely across different crude oil markets and has significant geographical characteristics, with a higher risk in the markets such as OPEC, Oman, and Dubai, and a lower risk in the markets such as WTI, Brent, and Daqing. This paper proposes sustainable energy policies from the perspective of energy importers and exporters. This is of great importance to enhance the ability of different countries to cope with the risk of crude oil price bubbles and to ensure the sustainability of economic development, ecological environment, and energy security.</p> Jiayue Wang, Kun Ma, Ling Zhang, Jinghong Wei, Jianzhong Wang Copyright (c) 2024 Strategic Planning for Energy and the Environment https://journals.riverpublishers.com/index.php/SPEE/article/view/22705 Sun, 14 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0100 Competitive Pricing Strategy of Wind-Solar-Fire Coupling System in Monthly Concentrated Market Considering the Uncertainty of Renewable Energy https://journals.riverpublishers.com/index.php/SPEE/article/view/23115 <p>Monthly centralized bidding is a key link in the transition from annual bilateral trading to spot trading, the research object of this paper is the multi-type power system (coupling system) which is integrated and coupled by thermal power and renewable energy under the same grid point, from the market point of view, this paper discusses its competitive strategy and revenue in the monthly centralized bidding market.
