Facilitating developments of solar thermal power and nuclear power generations for carbon neutral: A study based on evolutionary game theoretic method.

Solar thermal power and nuclear power generations are two most promising clean energy power approaches, which are effective for reducing carbon emissions. In order to promote the coordinated development of solar thermal power and nuclear power in China under the background of carbon neutral, the current paper develops a partnership comprised by the energy investment company (EIC), solar thermal power plant (STPP) and nuclear power plant (NPP). By utilizing the evolutionary game theory method and current policies of China, the evolutionary process simulations of the three participants under different conditions are conducted, which demonstrate that steady states could be achieved under different partnerships.
