Abstract

Performance management is one of the most significant strategies in promoting the efficiency of organizations and is highly sensitive. It is important to check the efficiency of combined cycle power plants because of their major contribution to power generation and air pollution. This study was conducted to evaluate the economic and environmental efficiency of Combined Cycle Power Plants (CCPPs). The inputs and outputs required to evaluate the performance of the power plants were determined according to expert opinions. Then, the 7-year statistics and information of the Qom, Neishabour, Shahid Rajaee, Yazd and Kerman power plants were collected as the desired CCPPs in Iran. The Window Data Envelopment Analysis (WDEA) method was used for evaluating the efficiency of the power plants. The 3-year window length showed that most of the power plants were efficient. Only the Rajaee, Neishabour and Yazd power plants were ineffective in some years. The mean efficiency of the power plants in the 4-year window length showed that the plants were efficient from 2008 to 2010.

基于数据包络分析的联合循环电厂效率研究(以大气污染为重点)

绩效管理是提高组织效率的最重要战略之一，具有高度敏感性。检查联合循环发电厂的效率很重要，因为它们对发电和空气污染有重大贡献。本研究旨在评估联合循环发电厂的经济和环境效率。评估发电厂性能所需的输入和输出是根据专家意见确定的。然后，收集库姆、内沙布尔、沙希德·拉吉、亚兹德和克尔曼发电厂的7年统计数据和信息，作为伊朗所需的CCPP。采用窗口数据包络分析（WDEA）方法对发电厂的效率进行了评估。3年的窗口期表明，大多数发电厂都是高效的。只有Rajaee、Neishabour和Yazd发电厂在某些年份是无效的。发电厂在4年窗口期内的平均效率表明，发电厂在2008年至2010年期间是高效的。
