- Abstract: This paper uses the text analysis method to construct a city-level power shortage index. We selected daily newspapers from 218 prefecture-level city as the data source and used a combination of selected high-frequency words with expert investigation to screen out basic terms related to power shortage. The following 20 keywords were identified: peak scheduling management, power generation, waste heat power generation, off-peak, grid disconnection, power rationing, switching off, orderly power consumption, tripping, peak avoidance, disconnection, plant power consumption, staggered peak avoidance, pull road, accident electricity, overload, transferring power supply, security of electricity, power rationing, and load transfer.
Mr. Jian Yu and his collaborators present a power shortage index to characterize the city-level power outages for 218 Chinese cities from 2001 to 2017. Please cite the following papers when using this data:
