Abstract :
Nowadays, energy consumption management is a vital strategy for societies to optimize energy
consumption. Considering the widespread functions of electrical energy in human lives,a high
proportion of consumption management procedures deals with the management of electrical energy
consumption. It is important to study the state of electrical energy and provide managerial and
optimal management solutions in this industry. The main purpose of this study is ranking the key
solutions of reducing electrical energy consumption in Isfahan Sepahan Cement industry. In this
research, firstly, by studying and investigating conducted researches, interviewing with cement
industry experts and alsoa researcher-made questionnaire, 20 solutions and 5 indices are chosen.
Then by utilizing the indices weight and Fuzzy TOPSIS method, solutions are ranked and in
conclusion, after conducting needed calculations, “Hot exhaust gases heat recovery and electricity
generation” obtained the highest rank and “Revision of various energy tariffs” scored the lowest
rank.
