Development of an Algorithm for Evaluating the Dominant Factors that have the Greatest Impact on the Energy Intensity of Products

The article deals with the assessment of the dominant factors that have the greatest impact on the energy intensity of products. A method is proposed that makes it possible to single out the most significant factors from all the variety of factors affecting energy indicators and to give an appropriate assessment to each of them. Methods and mathematical models are proposed that can be used for current and medium-term forecasting of electricity consumption. The analysis is carried out and the energy characteristics of production units are developed, depending on the reduced and total volume of manufactured products. Using linear programming methods, the energy intensity coefficients of the entire range of products manufactured by individual production units are obtained.
