The problem of evaluation of economic efficiency of energy information systems
The article contains a detailed analysis of the state of automation of energy enterprises in general, as well as in certain sectors of the industry, and the main ways of developing information systems in the energy sector. Prospective directions of investments with reference to development and introduction of information technologies during the crisis period are determined. The problems associated with the profitability and efficiency of projects to ensure information security of enterprises are discussed. The tendencies and prospects of development of information systems in the energy sector are considered. The article defines the concept of efficiency, both in the broad sense and the effectiveness of information systems. A comparative analysis of methods for assessing effectiveness in various fields of application was made. The main criteria and indicators of the economic efficiency evaluation of design solutions in the field of information technologies in the energy sector were studied. A model for the selection, creation, implementation and use of information systems based on various solutions for energy companies is proposed. The possibilities of using the theory of fuzzy sets to assess the effectiveness of the creation and implementation of information technologies and systems at energy enterprises are disclosed. A methodology for estimating the economic efficiency of the development and implementation of information systems in the power industry based on the theory of fuzzy sets is developed.
