Transnational Power Grid Interconnection Potential Evaluation Model and Empirical Research

The paper sets up the two-tier screening evaluation model of potential of transnational grid interconnection that includes the mutual complementation potential model and environmental evaluation model. This two-tier screening evaluation model introduces quantitative index and applies it to the full coverage analysis and calculation of the countries along the “Belt and Road”. The combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis forms a complete evaluation system from interconnection potential calculation to electricity investment environment. The empirical analysis demonstrates the effectiveness of two-tier screening evaluation model where the analysis result may serve as the scientific reference of promoting grid interconnection of the countries along the “Belt and Road”
