The Yellow River Basin is characterized by wide temperature difference, strong sunshine, low humidity, concentrated precipitation with large interannual changes. Measuring the impact of meteorological factors on residential power consumption can effectively avoid the power instability, optimize the spatial layout of power, and ensure the power consumption of residents. The current research mainly focuses on the industrial and commercial field, less considering the impact of spatial differences, especially in the Yellow River Basin. Therefore, based on the panel data of 61 cities from 2006 to 2019, adopted econometric methods and models, considered spatial differences and spatial spillover effects,studied the effects of meteorological factors on Residents' power demand in the Yellow River basin.The main work and research conclusions are as follows:
Comb the influencing factors and main manifestations of meteorological factors on power demand, define the relevant concepts and theoretical, analyze the climate characteristics and the current situation of residential power consumption, determine the factors affecting the power demand of residents in the Yellow River Basin.
Construct the panel fixed effect model, introduced nonlinear trend term and interaction term of meteorological factors. The results show the non-linear relationship between meteorological factors and residential power consumption, and the interaction between meteorological factors can promote or inhibit residential power consumption in different areas; Construct the spatial Durbin model, verified the significant spatial correlation between meteorological factors and residential power demand, and the spatial spillover effects of residential power consumption are different under the influence of different meteorological factors in the upper, middle and lower reaches.
Propose to make full use of the distribution advantages of meteorological resources and the spatial agglomeration effect of power, formulate differentiation measures, improve the regional power linkage mechanism, optimize the spatial layout of power, and promote residents' awareness and behavior of energy conservation.
The above research complements and perfects the research perspective of the spatial effect of meteorological factors on the residents' power demand. It has certain reference value for adapting and mitigating the impact of climate on power demand, and provides a basis for strengthening the residents' power planning and reducing regional differences.
