A survey on post-evaluation indicator system for multi-energy infrastructure investments

Abstract

With the growing concerns on the energy crisis and the strong support of policies, the development and construction of the multi-energy infrastructure are booming in the world. The post-evaluation for the multi-energy infrastructure investment projects can discover problems, giving advice for improvement, and guide the future project process management, which plays a significant role in achieving closed-loop and lean management. In this article, a comprehensive overview on the post-evaluation indicators of overall multi-energy infrastructure construction processes is illustrated. Then, the post-evaluation indicators on economic benefits are surveyed from the financial and national economic perspectives. Furthermore, the indicators to evaluate the impact on society and environment induced by the multi-energy infrastructure are thoroughly analyzed and investigated. Also, the post-evaluation indicators on the sustainability of the multi-energy infrastructure investment projects are summarized. Lastly, some challenges with great importance in the future research are presented. This review contributes to finding out the problems existing in the multi-energy infrastructure projects and analyzing the causes of the problems, which helps to guide the enterprise’s future investment direction, decision-making, and realize an accurate investment.
