Conceptual and Methodological Foundations of Multi-Criteria Selection of Priority Projects Energy-Efficient Projects for the Development of Large Industrial Complexes

The methodology of multi-criteria selection of priority energy-efficient projects, as in the case of assessing the energy efficiency of industrial complexes, is supposed to be based on the use of the indicative analysis methodology, which is widely used in the works of domestic and foreign scientists. The objects targeted by the methodology will be energy-efficient PC development projects that have specific technical, economic, and financial characteristics and industrial complexes as the main testing grounds for implementing energy-efficient projects in terms of increasing efficiency in the production and consumption of fuel and energy resources. Therefore, the final result of using the methodology will be the choice of the set of projects (project) that will provide the maximum effect in the abovementioned area of PC. It involves the implementation of the following stages: formation of a methodology for assessing the energy efficiency of PCs. A methodology that describes in detail the rules for determining integral energy efficiency estimates and provides algorithms for calculating the corresponding indicators. This is, of course, a key stage of the proposed methodological tools, since it prescribes algorithms for determining partial and integral (complex) indicators of PC energy efficiency, which serve as criteria for selecting proposed projects to improve production energy efficiency.
