Patent number: 10394266Abstract: According to embodiments of the present invention, the energy consumption assessment is done by identifying the benchmark production processes or enterprises. First, a process similarity between a target production process and a candidate production process is determined based on energy consumption units (ECUs) involved in the target production process and the candidate production process. In response to the process similarity being greater than a first threshold, an energy consumption similarity between the target production process and the candidate production process is determined based on a factor that has influence on energy consumption of at least one of the ECUs. In response to the energy consumption similarity being greater than a second threshold, the candidate production process is identified as a benchmark for assessing energy consumption of the target production process.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2015Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Feng Jin, Bin Li, Xin Jie Lv, Qi Ming Tian, Lei Ye, Li Zhang, Gang Zhou
