Managing the Energy-Saving Projects Portfolio at the Metallurgical Enterprises

Abstract

This paper considers managing of energy saving and energy efficiency projects and programs at the metallurgical enterprises. It suggests a multilevel model for energy saving process management at the enterprise. This model allows sequentially analyzing the project to recognize opportunities of tasks implementation, agreeing upon the project plans and enterprise plans realization on different levels of planning, and choosing the most perspective projects that suit the development strategy. This paper suggests the agent simulation analysis model to manage the energy resources at the metallurgical enterprises. This model considers a number of interdependent power flows, requirements, aims and behavior strategies of different divisions, and the manufacturing process dynamics. This model is essential to manage the processes of energy distribution and consumption at intrafactory and intradepartmental mains, and to control the basic energy-intensive equipment operating modes.
