Abstract

In this study, we examine the asymmetric role of resource efficiency (RE), fossil fuel consumption (FFC), and alternative energy consumption (REC) on India's load capacity factor (LCF) from 1970 to 2019. We employ advanced quantile-based techniques such as the wavelet quantile correlation, cross-quantilogram analysis, quantile regression, and quantile Granger causality tests. The findings indicate that the RE and FFC dampen LCF with weaker effects in the lower and middle quantiles and minimal effects in the higher quantiles. In contrast, REC has a consistently strong and positive effect on LCF across all quantiles, reinforcing its eco-friendly nature. In addition, the quantile Granger causality analysis reveals that RE, FFC, and REC demonstrate varying predictive powers across different quantiles of LCF, with notable predictability observed in variance except for the extreme higher quantiles. These findings suggest that policies aimed at enhancing ecological quality should be considered, which include promoting efficient use of resources and REC.

印度资源效率和替代能源对负荷能力因子的非对称作用

在本研究中，我们研究了1970年至2019年资源效率（RE）、化石燃料消耗（FFC）和替代能源消耗（REC）对印度负荷能力因子（LCF）的不对称作用。我们采用先进的基于分位数的技术，如小波分位数相关、交叉分位数分析、分位数回归和分位数格兰杰因果检验。结果表明，可再生能源和可再生能源对低、中分位数的影响较弱，对高分位数的影响最小。相比之下，REC对所有分位数的LCF都有持续强劲的积极影响，加强了其环保性质。此外，分位数格兰杰因果分析显示，RE、FFC和REC在LCF的不同分位数上表现出不同的预测能力，除极端高分位数外，方差具有显著的可预测性。研究结果表明，应考虑提高生态质量的政策，包括促进资源的有效利用和生态资源回收。
