Abstract

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been commonly used in the energy saving of enterprise plants. Nevertheless, when the traditional DEA model analyzes the effectiveness of decision-making units (DMUs), over 1/3 of the DMUs' efficiency values are 1, so the traditional DEA model cannot distinguish the cons and pros of the DMUs. And although the DEA cross-model(DEACM) is able to differentiate the cons as well as pros of the effective DMUs, it can't obtain the improvement direction of the ineffective DMUs. Therefore, an energy saving and management method based on an improved DEACM, which can use the higher efficiency distinction to identify the efficiency state of the DMUs, is proposed in this paper. Meanwhile, the improvement direction of the ineffective DMU can be found by the self-evaluation of the improved DEACM. Finally, the improved DEACM is utilized to save and manage the energy configuration of the PTA solvent system in the industrial process. The experimental results reveal that the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed method are verified, and in addition, the efficiency discrimination is well. Moreover, the proposed model can find the direction of the quantitative targets of energy saving to improve the energy efficiency of PTA production.
