Study on the Mechanism for Profit Distribution in Energy Supply Chain

Abstract:

Energy supply chain management is a new management concept in the field of energy management, while profit distribution is considered as the key issue present in the various entities of the energy supply chain. In this paper, a Stackelberg-type manufacturer-vendor-consumer profit distribution game model was constructed. Furthermore, by adopting income-sharing contract as the instrument to measure profit distribution, the profit distribution equilibrium between energy-distributor-dominant and the energy generation-dominant supply chains were studied in this paper. By doing so, a theoretical conclusion was drafted that the dominant enterprises in the sector gained access to more profit through the biased policy privilege that granted to them for many years; and the income distribution factors of these dominant enterprise ensured a maximized profit for the entire energy supply chain. Finally, the correctness of the concluded result was verified through calculations on the numerical examples.
