Abstract
An acquisition unit acquires a quantity relating to an operating rate of a facility of a plant and a quantity relating to energy consumption of the facility. An index value specification unit specifies a higher index value as the energy consumption is lower, and a higher index value as the operating rate is higher, or a lower index value as the energy consumption is lower, and a lower index value as the operating rate is higher, based on the quantity acquired by the acquisition unit. An index value output unit outputs information relating to the index value.

A plant evaluation device comprising:
- an acquisition unit that is configured to acquire a quantity relating to an operating rate of a facility of a plant, and a quantity relating to energy consumption of the facility;
- an index value specification unit that is configured to specify an index value that is higher as the energy consumption is lower and that is higher as the operating rate is higher, or an index value that is lower as the energy consumption is lower and that is lower as the operating rate is higher, based on the quantity acquired by the acquisition unit;
- and
- an index value output unit that is configured to output information relating to the index value.
A plant evaluation method comprising the steps of:
- acquiring a quantity relating to an operating rate of a facility of a plant and a quantity relating to energy consumption of the facility;
- specifying an index value that is higher as the energy consumption is lower and that is higher as the operating rate is higher, or an index value that is lower as the energy consumption is lower and that is lower as the operating rate is higher, based on the acquired quantity;
- and
- outputting information relating to the index value.
A program that causes a computer to execute a process, the process comprising the steps of:
- acquiring a quantity relating to an operating rate of a facility of a plant and a quantity relating to energy consumption of the facility;
- specifying an index value that is higher as the energy consumption is lower and that is higher as the operating rate is higher, or an index value that is lower as the energy consumption is lower and that is lower as the operating rate is higher, based on the acquired quantity;
- and
- outputting information relating to the index value.
