Analysis on Core Technologies and Cutting-edge Technologies of New Energy Based on Input-output Method

Abstract

In this paper, taking the patent for the study and using input-output analysis method distinguish the advanced technology and the core technology in the field of new energy, which makes the number of cited patents as input, and the number of published patents as output. Patent data for this paper comes from Derwent Innovation Patents Citation Index (DII), using the Python programming language to extract the patent information in PN field and CP field for each time period and each energy sector, then matching this information in SQL database, whereby the number of one energy sector cited from another energy field. Construct the patent citations matrices to identify core technologies filed and cutting-edge technologies field by induction coefficient and influence coefficient, on this basis analyze the degree of sensitivity, to further determine which energy field makes the greater impact for the development of whole new energy field. The results show that the cutting-edge technologies field is marine energy technology research and development, the core technologies field is solar technology field, the solar technology makes the greater impact for the development of whole new energy field.
