Interpretation
Enterprise’s income from power generation
—
The income from power generation can be measured by generating capacity multiplied by electricity price, in which the electricity price after government subsidy is 0.65 CNY/kwh [49].
Operation and maintenance cost of incineration plant
—
The operation and maintenance cost is derived from a similar study, as in a range of 75 to 120 CNY/t [50].
Cost of upgrading treatment facilities
16 CNY/t
The unit cost of waste disposal is increased by 16 CNY/t since the treatment facilities upgrading [11].
Social cost
—
It is hypothesized as the expense for government in mediation of the conflict, which can be expressed as , where is consistent with the time that the residents spent on appealing to their compensation and is the basic allowance issued by the Ministry of Finance; that is, each one will obtain 180 CNY per day [51].
Cost of residents appealing to compensation
—
Since there are no specific measurements on the cost of complaints, this study estimates it as , where is the time that the residents spent for appealing to their compensation and is the local average salary; its value is 192 CNY/person/day [52].
Compensation for the residents
—
The pollution compensation for residents nearby can be assessed as [53] , where is the compensation coefficient, assumed as 2000 [53]; is the concentration of the pollutant at the geographic location ; and represents the emissions standard of the pollutant, selected as 80 mg/Nm3 [11].
The measurement is given as follows [55]: , where is the different types of diseases caused by pollution, including chronic bronchitis, cor pulmonale, and lung cancer. is the average cost for the diagnosis and medical treatment. is the probability of a person suffering from diseases.
