Research On The Structure Of Global Photovoltaic Power Generation Equipment Trade Network And China’s Trade Status

With the deteriorating global environment and increasing energy consumption,the competition in the international photovoltaic trade will be more intense.As the largest developing country in the world and one of the countries with the largest energy consumption in the world,China has a correct understanding of the current global photovoltaic power generation equipment trade situation and China’s trade status and division of labor in the photovoltaic power generation equipment trade network.It is of great significance for China’s future development of the photovoltaic industry to take the initiative in the international photovoltaic power generation equipment trade.Based on the research status of the photovoltaic industry,this paper firstly conducts a comprehensive review of the photovoltaic power generation equipment industry chain,and selects the main trade goods in each link of the photovoltaic power generation equipment industry chain.The trade status of photovoltaic power generation equipment,the flow of trade import and export and the main trading countries are described.On this basis,using the social network analysis method,a global photovoltaic power generation equipment trade network is constructed,and the number of nodes,edges,network density,average weighting degree,average clustering coefficient,average path length,etc.Social network analysis indicators,a systematic study on the characteristics,evolution law and group structure of the global photovoltaic power generation equipment trade network.And using the Quadratic Assignment Approach(QAP),it empirically analyzes the impact of factors such as GDP,urbanization level,industrial added value,carbon dioxide emissions,common language,geographical distance between countries,territorial borders,and logistics performance index on global photovoltaic power generation.The impact of the evolution of equipment trade networks.Finally,through the calculation of centrality,point strength and structural hole index,this paper analyzes China’s position in the global photovoltaic power generation equipment trade network,and puts forward relevant suggestions on how to improve China’s photovoltaic power generation international trade status.The research results show that: First,the global photovoltaic power generation equipment trade is in a period of rapid growth.The participating countries in the trade network,the strength of links between countries,and the network density are all increasing rapidly.China,the United States,Germany,Japan and South Korea are still the global photovoltaic power generation equipment.Major trading countries for equipment trade.Second,the trade group of photovoltaic power generation equipment is obviously affected by geographical factors,traffic factors and economic factors.China,Germany and the United States are the centers of trade groups for the main trade goods of photovoltaic power generation equipment.However,in recent years,the international emerging photovoltaic market has been rising.The number of trade groups for major trade goods continues to increase.Third,factors such as economic scale,industrial added value,and carbon dioxide emissions are the main influencing factors of the global photovoltaic power generation equipment network.Distance factors,cultural factors,and logistics levels have a greater impact on the trade network of some major photovoltaic power generation equipment trade goods.Urban The effect of the level of change on the trade network of most traded goods is not significant.Fourth,China has the highest position in the trade network of midstream products of the photovoltaic power generation equipment industry chain,has the strongest control over other countries in trade,and continues to improve its central position in the trade network of major trade goods upstream and downstream of the industry chain.,has now reached the world’s leading level.China’s central position in the global trade of photovoltaic power generation equipment was significantly affected by the black swan event,and indicators such as the centrality index declined significantly in the EU’s "anti-dumping" survey and the impact of the new crown epidemic.
