Research on the U.S. coal supply-demand network

摘要

The production's SPL distribution of the U.S. coal supply enterprises from 1983 to 2011 was obtained from the empirical analysis. And the nameplate capacity's SPL distribution of the U.S. existing electric generating units in 2009 was obtained. Based on a universal bipartite model of the energy supply-demand network, the numerical results of the U.S. coal supply-demand network are obtained, which are in good agreement with the empirical results.
