Sažetak
The main goal of this paper is to present the methodology of construction of the Integral Indicator for the Croatian Thermal Power Plants and the Combined Heat and Power Plants. The Integral Indicator is intended to compare the Power Plants according to a certain criterion. The criterion of the ecological impact is chosen. The following features of the power plants are used: generated electricity and heat ; consumed coal and liquid fuel ; sulfurs content in fuel ; emitted CO2, SO2, NOx and particles. The linear model is use to construct the Integral Indicator. The model parameters are defined by the Principal Component Analysis. The constructed Integral Indicator is compared with several others, such as Pareto-optimal slicing indicator and Metric indicator. The Integral Indicator keeps as much information about the waste measures of the power plants as possible ; it is simple and robust.
