A General Framework for Multi-Criteria Based Feasibility Studies for Solar Energy Projects: Application to a Real-World Solar Farm

Abstract: The growth of solar energy is projected to slow down during 2023–25 despite the fall in costs due to economic deceleration, reduced incentives, and market barriers including the lack of relevant and flexible energy project planning and decision-making tools. This study proposes a flexible and computationally simple multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA)-based model that takes technical, financial, environmental, social and legal aspects of all project options as input and outputs a feasibility score for each … Show more

“…For example, Pinto et al [19] applied Stochastic Multicriteria Acceptability Analysis (SMAA) for comparing carbon-neutral district-heating technologies in Torino, Italy. Bandaru et al [20] developed a multicriteria framework to evaluate the feasibility of solar energy projects. Vagiona [21] compared four MCDA methods (AHP, TOPSIS, VIKOR, PROMETHEE II) for ranking solar farm locations in Greece.…”
