Abstract
The intelligent development of coal mines is a crucial way to achieve the safe, efficient, green, and low-carbon transformation of the coal industry and to reach the “double carbon” target, which is related to the life and health of miners, the stable development of enterprises and the national energy reform. As directly affected subjects, the cooperative attitudes of miners in different emotional states have a significant impact on the smooth implementation of intelligent coal mine renovation projects. Hence, we combined the RDEU theory and game theory, constructed a three-party evolutionary game model of the small and medium-sized energy enterprises (SMEE), the government, and the miner, considered the influence of the strategies made by the miner on the equilibrium strategy choices of other game subjects in the intelligent coal mine construction under the rational and irrational emotional states of the miner, and finally used MATLAB 2021 to simulate and analyze the impact of the evolution of the gaming system from 3 key elements: initial participation rate, construction costs, and government support. The study found the following: (1) The government will insist on actively promoting intelligent coal mine construction regardless of the miner’s emotional state. (2) Both moderate pessimism and optimism will, to a certain extent, give a positive impetus to the development of intelligent coal mine construction. (3) The miner’s emotions have a greater impact on SMEE than on the government’s strategic behavior. (4) Excessive construction costs or low government support will make SMEE may reduce the enthusiasm of SMEE to carry out an intelligent construction of coal mines. Accordingly, corresponding suggestions and countermeasures are put forward, aiming to provide targeted and practical ideas for the efficient construction of intelligent coal mines in China, thereby accelerating the green and low-carbon transformation of energy.
