Abstract: The technical changing track of the thermal power generation, the hydropower generation, the nuclear power generation and new energy power generation were analyzed. On this basis, the influence factors on the technical changes of power generation equipment manufacture, which includes eight aspects such as the development investment, the organization, the manufacturing scale and so on, are analyzed emphatically. The research of the technical changes in power generating equipment manufacturing and the influence factors presented in this paper can provide a basis for the power generating equipment manufacturer to find the innovation opportunities and to select the suitable innovation mode.

Key words: power generating equipment manufacture, technical change, influence factor
