Abstract :
Industrial ecosystems as an important practice of sustainable development are rapidly advancing at home and abroad, but the evaluation of industrial ecosystem stability is not perfect. Emergy and exergy analysis as complementary methods are used to evaluate the level of the sustainable development of the system. This paper attempts to combine the characteristics of emergy and exergy analysis, and to establish the ratio of emergy input and exergy output index which is called system transformity in order to evaluate the stability of two thermal power plants.
