Abstract
With the opening of the regional electricity market, the interconnection and interoperability of international power grids is constantly moving forward. In the face of increasing cross-border power commodity trade, social network analysis is widely used to analyze the structural characteristics of cross-border power trade networks, but traditional analysis only focuses on the topological structure of power trade network, lacks consideration of trade volume. Based on this, this paper uses complex network theory to establish a cross-border power trade weighted network for cross-border power trade along the “Belt and Road” region. In view of the trade volume in power trade, the weights of network links and nodes are taken into account. Then this paper improves the calculation method of aggregation coefficient and network structure entropy, and the characteristics of network structure such as degree distribution, aggregation and heterogeneity of cross-border power trade network are analyzed.
