Comprehensive Evaluation of Global Clean Energy Development Level Based on Compatibility and Difference Degree

Abstract

To promote the energy structure adjustment and clean energy development, this paper evaluates the global clean energy development level. Firstly, the global clean energy development level evaluation index system is established based on index system construction principles; secondly, the comprehensive weight is determined based on additive integration model, which is used to combine subjective and objective weights. Moreover, the variance minimal optimization method is used to select the combination scheme of dimensionless method and objective weight method, which could avoid the influence from subjective selection of method and enhance the stability of weighting. Thirdly, grey relational degree method and logarithmic range method are applied to evaluate the global clean energy development level. Then using the compatibility degree maximization and difference degree minimization model considers the compatibility and difference degree of the various comprehensive evaluation methods results and chooses the result with the maximization compatibility degree and minimization difference degree as the final evaluation scheme, which makes the evaluation result more scientific, robust, and reasonable. Finally, this paper empirically analyzes the 66 countries in the world to verify the effectiveness of the method and evaluates the development level of the region according to the spatial distribution map of the development level.
