Regional Development Potential Of The Yunnan Hydropower Cdm Project Evaluation Studies

The Clean Development Mechanism(CDM)provides industrialized countries with an incentive to invest in emission reduction projects in developing countries to achieve a reduction in CO₂ emissions at a low cost that also promotes sustainable development in the host country.The Clean Development Mechanism is a "win-win" mechanism,which makes regional economy to get environmental protection and economic development.There are two ways reportedly to study the potential of the CDM projects.The first is the application of professional analysis of relevant mathematical models,from the international point of view to explore and identify the CDM potential in the study area;the second is only taking into account the resource advantages of the study area.The first method is relatively strong professional.Applying the second method to evaluate the CDM potential,the time and the degree of the regional economic development and so on are not considered.The author put forward that we evaluate the CDM potential of the small hydropower in a graphical visualization way by applying GIS technology;the method can provide the decision-making reference for the relevant departments.This paper deals with the relations between the small hydropower CDM projects and influence indexes,based on the field investigation data and the referenced opinions of the experts.The small hydropower CDM regional potential assessing system is established through a series process such as analysis of relations between the influencing indexes and the CDM potential.Every index is decided through the relevant mathematical ways,and its weight is drawn by the AHP method.The factors in the small hydropower CDM regional potential assessing system include the per capita GDP growth rate,unit GDP energy consumption,unit GDP power consumption,precipitation,hydroelectric power capacity, regional water productivity per square kilometer,runoff,and the CDM message.Taking the small hydropower CDM assessing system as the core part,this paper described the design of the total structure,data process,main function and so on of the small hydropower CDM assessing information system.With OOP idea,based on the.NET Framework frame and ArcGIS Engine,the small hydropower CDM assessing information system is established. Finally,the assess system is applied in the study of the regional CDM potential of small hydropower in the province of Yunnan,and the comprehensive evaluation result is nearly the same as the real life situation.
