摘要
The problem of energy shortage is exacerbated by energy waste and low efficiency. Energy efficiency has become a popular research topic, but little research has been performed on the dynamic work of improving energy efficiency. In this paper, energy efficiency improving capacity is first defined to reveal this dynamic work. An evaluation index system is built before a combined weight multilayer evaluation model is applied to calculate the energy efficiency improving capacities of 15 countries from 2001 to 2010. In addition, the evolution equation for energy efficiency improvement driving force is constructed to analyze the changing trend of energy efficiency improving capacity. Next, the stages of the 15 countries' energy efficiency improving capacities are analyzed through the inflection points. Finally, related conclusions are considered according to the analysis results.
