Efficiency Assessment Of Malaysian Coal-Fired Power Plant: A Circular Economy Perspective

Coal-fired power generation is expected to grow over the next 10 years and become the most important source of electricity in Malaysia. As the coal usage for electricity generation continues, there is a critical need to assess the circular economy development and the reduction of emissions. So far, in Malaysia, such study for coal fired plant has not been further investigated. In this paper, a survey on a coal fired plant in Peninsular Malaysia is conducted to focus on evaluating the relative plant efficiency using a circular economy concept. Using the survey field data, a DEA or Data Envelopment Analysis method is employed to evaluate the coal plant performance. The simulation result infer that the DEA model can be used to help government to reveal the relative efficiency and inefficiency unit of the coal fired plant which needs to be improved. Also, the result recognized several unit of plants as the benchmark of circular economy for enhancing the performance of the electricity generation in Malaysia. © 2018 Published by Future Academy www.FutureAcademy.org.UK
