INNOVATION AND INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT MODEL ENERGY-SAVING TECHNOLOGIES OF THERMAL POWER PLANTS

In present-day conditions, the positioning of energy saving and energy efficiency processes is one of the priorities of the National Strategy for Sustainable Socio-Economic Development of the Republic of Belarus. The article builds an innovation and investment model for managing ener- gy-saving technologies of an energy enterprise based on the analytical research results, reasonable parameters and criteria, which makes it possible to create a framework for industry 4.0 and a basis for sectoral scientific and technological integration within the EAEU. The object of the study is the management of energy-saving technologies at the Mogilev CHP-2 Branch of RUE Mogilevenergo in the system of innovative development. The authors present the organi- zational and economic foundations for the research of an innovative approach to the management of energy-saving technologies at an energy enterprise and conceptual approaches to the construction of an innovation and investment model in the control unit. The results of a retrospective and prospective anal- ysis of energy efficiency in the format of the use of fixed assets of the branch are summarized, which made it possible to identify the need and objects of the innovation and investment activity. Low-cost projects are recommended for implementation, as well as a large- scale project of energy-saving technologies at production sites of equipment with a high level of physical and moral wear and tear, requiring increased efficiency and innovativeness of implemented technologies for generating the energy and providing its flexible release. In the hierarchy of measures, priority is assigned to low-cost technologies of modernization and reconstruction of Mogilev CHP-2. An investment project is developed for the introduction of low-cost technologies for the modernization of Mogilev CHP-2 with a high level of innovation, providing increased capacity, maneuverability and the energy efficiency of the organization. The effect of mutual influence of energy saving, energy efficiency and innovative development of an energy enterprise on achieving the goals of its sustainable development is substantiated. The article treats of the development of the analytical control unit for the energy saving and efficiency improvement in the conditions of innovative development on the basis of a systematic and integrated approach to the inter- relationships and interdependencies between the effective and factor indicators of the information and analytical management environment. An investment project that provides the effect of mutual influence of ener- gy saving, energy efficiency and innovative development with the target vector of sustainable development of the energy enterprise is considered as a result of the practical use of an innovative approach to the management of energy- saving technologies.
