Evolutionary Game Analysis on the Behavioral Strategies Between Governments and Steel Works: Organic Rankine Cycle Technology Promotion

doi:10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2022.11.018

Abstract

Abstract: An evolutionary game model between Chinese governments and steel works is established to explore how to reasonably promote steel works to use organic Rankine cycle(ORC)technology for recovering low-temperature waste heat， and the influences of evolutionary stability and key parameters on the evolutionary trajectory are analyzed. The results show that implementation costs and environmental pollution taxes are essential for ORC technology promotion. Charging higher taxes on energy consumption and environmental pollution can provide more incentives for governments to promote the application of ORC technology based on maximizing political and social benefits. Both parties benefit from having initial probabilities that are close to or larger than the critical value for popularizing ORC technology. Increasing regulatory expenditures， as well as political and social benefits， motivates governments; adding environmental pollution taxes， ORC generation benefits， and gains from reducing environmental pollution inspires companies; increasing operational loss subsidies and technical allowances， as well as technology deployment costs， is detrimental for both governments and companies.

Key words: ORC technology; evolutionary game theory; government agencies; steel works
