Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of industrial water-saving and carbon reduction calculation methods, and particularly relates to an industrial water-saving and carbon reduction calculation method based on stochastic frontier analysis and system dynamics model. Background Technology
[0002] Against the backdrop of increasingly tight global climate change and resource constraints, the industrial sector, as a major consumer of water resources and emitter of carbon, has made water conservation and carbon reduction a crucial link in achieving "dual carbon" goals and sustainable development. Accurately quantifying the water-saving potential and carbon reduction benefits of industry is an important prerequisite for formulating scientific emission reduction policies and optimizing resource allocation. Therefore, research on calculation methods for industrial water conservation and carbon reduction has significant theoretical and practical implications.
[0003] Currently, existing industrial water conservation and carbon reduction calculation technologies have many limitations: First, traditional methods often rely on fixed conversion factors for simple calculations, failing to fully consider the dynamic relationship between the economic attributes of industrial production (such as industry differences, technological progress, and investment scale) and water resource utilization, leading to discrepancies between the calculated water conservation potential and actual production patterns. Second, in carbon reduction accounting, energy consumption and carbon emissions of a single link are often calculated in isolation, ignoring the entire energy consumption chain of industrial water intake, transmission, treatment, drainage, and reclaimed water utilization, making it difficult to accurately reflect the quantitative relationship between water conservation behavior and carbon emissions. Third, existing models mostly focus on static analysis and cannot simulate the dynamic evolution of water conservation and carbon reduction systems under different policy, technological, or market conditions, resulting in insufficient accuracy in predicting long-term trends.
[0004] Furthermore, while existing technologies use stochastic frontier analysis for efficiency measurement, they fail to effectively integrate water-saving factors with time-based dynamic effects, making it difficult to accurately characterize the differences in water efficiency across different industrial sectors. The application of system dynamics models in the resource and environmental field is also mostly limited to single systems (such as water resource systems or carbon emission systems), lacking a comprehensive consideration of the coupling relationship between "water resources-energy-carbon emissions," and thus failing to meet the needs of coordinated management of industrial water conservation and carbon reduction.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a calculation method that can integrate the characteristics of industrial economy and water resource attributes, cover the entire process of energy consumption conversion, and have dynamic simulation capabilities, so as to improve the accuracy and scientific nature of industrial water conservation and carbon reduction calculations and provide reliable technical support for the green transformation of industry. Summary of the Invention

[0019] Preferably, the system variables satisfy: The tap water system contains 17 variables, of which the carbon reduction of tap water is a state variable, and the rest are auxiliary variables or constants. The surface water system and the groundwater system each contain 14 variables, of which the carbon reduction of surface water and the carbon reduction of groundwater are state variables, and the remaining 13 are auxiliary variables or constants. The reclaimed water system contains 6 variables, of which the carbon increase in reclaimed water is a state variable, and the other 5 are constants.
[0020] Preferably, the variable functional relationship includes: Carbon reduction in tap water = (Energy consumption during water intake + Energy consumption during water treatment + Energy consumption during wastewater discharge) × Carbon dioxide emission coefficient; Surface water carbon reduction = (energy consumption for water intake + energy consumption for drainage) × carbon dioxide emission coefficient; Groundwater carbon reduction = (energy consumption for water intake + energy consumption for drainage) × carbon dioxide emission coefficient; Carbon increase from reclaimed water = Reclaimed water utilization × Average electricity consumption per unit of reclaimed water × Carbon dioxide emission coefficient; The carbon dioxide emission coefficient is 0.723 kg / kW·h.

[0022] Preferably, the method integrates improved stochastic frontier analysis and system dynamics models, while considering both the economic and water resource attributes of industrial development, to achieve quantitative calculation of industrial water conservation and carbon reduction.
[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are: By improving the stochastic frontier analysis method, this invention introduces water resource factors, water-saving factors, and time dynamic effects into the traditional production function, and adds a new technical inefficiency equation to explain industry-specific technological differences. Combined with five hypothesis tests (cross-multiplication, technological progress, etc.) to verify the reliability of the method, it can accurately characterize the water efficiency features of different industrial sectors. Compared to traditional methods that rely on empirical coefficients, the water-saving potential calculated by this invention for different sectors (ΔWit=(1-TEit)×Wit) better reflects the economic attributes and technological development patterns of industrial production, laying a precise data foundation for subsequent carbon reduction calculations.
[0024] Achieve dynamic correlation between energy consumption and carbon emissions throughout the entire process. By generalizing the industrial water intake system, an energy consumption calculation formula for the entire process of water lifting, water transmission, water treatment, drainage, and reclaimed water utilization is constructed (e.g., water lifting energy consumption Ewi=mgh / (3.6×10)). 6 η), Water conveyance energy consumption Ewt=mghf / (3.6×10 6 This invention, for the first time, systematically establishes a quantitative conversion relationship between industrial water-saving behavior and energy consumption. Compared with existing technologies that isolate and calculate energy consumption in a single link, this invention covers the energy consumption chain of the entire life cycle of water resource utilization, making the correlation calculation between water saving and carbon reduction more complete and scientific.
[0025] Dynamic simulation of multi-system synergistic carbon reduction effect A system dynamics model is constructed, encompassing four major systems: surface water, groundwater, tap water, and reclaimed water. This model clarifies the state variables (such as carbon reduction from surface water and carbon increase from reclaimed water), auxiliary variables, and functional relationships for each system. Simulation calculations are then used to calculate the total water-saving and carbon-reduction amounts under different water source ratios and policy conditions (total water-saving and carbon-reduction = carbon reduction from tap water + carbon reduction from surface water + carbon reduction from groundwater - carbon increase from reclaimed water). Compared to static calculation methods, this invention can dynamically reflect the complex interactive relationships within the "water resources-energy-carbon emissions" system, providing predictable quantitative evidence for long-term policy formulation.
[0026] Strengthen industry differentiation and policy adaptability By calculating water use efficiency and water-saving potential across different industries and combining the energy consumption characteristics of various water source systems, a refined accounting of industrial water conservation and carbon reduction has been achieved. For example, by setting different constants such as the lifting height and pipeline parameters for tap water, surface water, and groundwater systems, the calculation results are made more consistent with the actual situation of regional industries. At the same time, the model incorporates policy influencing factors, which can quantify the impact of different policies on the utilization of reclaimed water and the amount of groundwater extracted, providing technical support for the development of targeted industry emission reduction strategies.
[0027] In summary, this invention, by integrating improved stochastic frontier analysis and system dynamics models, breaks through the limitations of traditional static and singular methods, and achieves a leap from "empirical estimation" to "precise quantification" and from "single link" to "system synergy" in industrial water conservation and carbon reduction. It significantly improves the scientificity and practicality of the calculation results and provides a reliable technical tool for industrial green transformation and the achievement of "dual carbon" goals.
