Synergy of digitalization within the framework of increasing energy efficiency in manufacturing industry

Abstract

The article contains the results of the study of manufacturing industry in terms of energy efficiency, digitalization and ecology. Interdependencies of the listed aspects are established and the synergetic effect of digitization is determined with the help of economic and mathematical modeling. The aim of the study is to determine the synergistic effect of digitalization, taking into account the improvement of energy efficiency and environmental protection of manufacturing. As a result of application of these methods, the article reflected the results of an analysis of the dynamics of energy consumption by manufacturing enterprises of the Russian economy; economic and mathematical models are proposed in the form of multiple linear regression equations that describe the dependence of environmental and “digital” parameters on energy efficiency indicators, allowing varying independent variables in order to achieve specific values of the resulting indicator; a model for optimizing energy consumption and financing energy efficiency was developed with the condition of minimizing polluting emissions by the manufacturing industry and further digitalizing of the industry. The research materials reflected in the article can be taken into account and applied within the framework of forming strategies and programs to ensure energy efficiency in manufacturing industries.
