Recently, the application results of projects that will be supported by National Natural Science Foundation were announced. Project presided over by LUSM professor Zhang Guoxing’s team has been approved as Key Program of National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) with direct funding of RMB 2,100,000 which is the second time that a program in humanities and social science at LZU was supported by the Key Program of National Natural Science Foundation of China.

The Program: “Multi-energy Complementary Cooperative Operation System and Its Macro Effect” taking China’s northwest as typical case, focus on problems such as unreasonable use of resources, low efficiency and unclear analysis of macro effect exposed in the process of multi-energy complementary cooperative operation system and will carry out researches on key problems ofmulti-energy complement. First, to explore external influence mechanism of production, transmission, distribution and consuming of wind-solar-water-fire on energy economic environment. Second, taking short, medium and long-term environment and economy as optimization objectives, build a collaborative optimization model with interactive game among production capacity investment, output ratio, transmission and distribution and consumption. Finally, based on the analysis of the coupling effect of internal and external drivers, suggestions on the choice of multi-energy complementary policy coordination model will be proposed. This project is of great significance to the establishment of a multi-energy complementary and collaborative theoretical and methods system, and the promotion of energy structure transformation, environmental pollution control and sustainable economic development.

Professor Zhang Guoxing obtained PhD in business management and did his post-doc in management science and engineering at Xi’an Jiaotong University. He was employed by LUSM in 2010 through talent recruitment program, and was promoted to professor in 2014. He was the winner of 2013 New Century Excellent Talents in University and is the first batch of Tsuiying Scholar of Lanzhou University. He takes the role of deputy dean of Institute of Green Finance, LZU, director of Institute for Strategy and Organization Management, LUSM. He has presided several projects of NSFC and MOE and has published over 60 papers focused on energy conservation and emission reduction; energy and environmental policy in Energy Policy, Resources Policy, Journal of Management Sciences in China, Systems Engineering-Theory & Practice which have been cited more than 2000 times His work has won Frontrunner 5000 Top Articles in Outstanding S&T Journals of China, Top Articles in Chinese Journal of Management Science, Outstanding Achievement in Philosophy and Social Sciences in Gansu Province. His policy research report has been read and given positive comments by party secretary and governor of Gansu.
