Hydrogen-based multi-microgrid systems (HBMMSs) are beneficial for energy saving and emission reductions. However, the optimal sizing of HBMMSs lacks a practical configuration optimization model and a reasonable solution method. To address these problems, we designed a novel structure of HBMMSs that combines conventional energy, renewable energy, and a hydrogen energy subsystem. Then, we established a bi-level multi-objective capacity optimization model while considering electricity market trading and different hydrogen production strategies. The objective of the inner model, which is the minimum annual operation cost, and the three objectives of the outer model, which are the minimum total annual cost (TAC); the annual carbon emission (ACE); and the maximum self-sufficiency rate (SSR), are researched simultaneously. To solve the above optimization model, a two-stage solution method, which considers the conflicts between objectives and the objectivity of objective weights, is proposed. Finally, a case study is performed. The results show that when green hydrogen production strategies are adopted, the three objectives of the best configuration optimization scheme are USD 404.987 million, 1.106 million tons, and 0.486, respectively.

“…In order to ensure the authority of this evaluation, expert judgments are often introduced for subjective indicators, which cannot be properly measured because of an expert's subjectivism [34]. The classic AHP method excels among subjective analysis and evaluation methods, allowing effective judgment and decision making for qualitative problems that are otherwise challenging to quantify [36].…”

With the implementation of China’s rural revitalization strategy, the construction of low-pollution villages has become an urgent demand for rural residents to achieve an ecologically livable environment. This paper aims to construct a new evaluation system for a “zero-pollution village” inspired by the principle of CASBEE. A village is regarded as a relatively independent ecosystem, and the evaluation system is designed to improve the “internal environmental quality Q” of a village while reducing the “external environmental load L”. Thus, the evaluation system included two target strata (Q and L) and 3 layers comprising 6 criteria layers, 21 sub-criteria layers, and 76 indicators in the indicator layers. A new combined weight method based on FAHP-TOPSIS was presented to determine the weights of each layer of indicators. After verifying the evaluation system by applying it to 3 representative villages, 26 villages in Zhejiang Province were evaluated. These results indicate that the evaluation system was effective for evaluating the construction of a zero-pollution village. The current village environment in Zhejiang Province has been significantly improved; however, the vast majority of villages have not yet reached the zero-pollution standard.

“…The method was also used to identify the best ways to solve the problem of the limited use of renewable energy in public buildings [66]. The thesis [67] proposed the CRITIC method to select RES system solutions. The authors emphasize that this approach clarifies the ambiguity in the evaluation process, provides insight into multicriteria decisionmaking problems, and may help decision makers to understand the evaluation accuracy.…”

Decisions regarding waste and emission management systems are subject to many sustainability criteria, including environmental, social, and economic criteria. The problem is the multidimensionality of the energy transformation and its reading from different perspectives. This article aims to assess the effectiveness of the municipal energy policy. The VIKOR multicriteria analysis approach to modeling and Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation were chosen for the method. The approach made it possible to create a ranking and choose a compromise solution. The analyses were carried out for four areas of intervention (ETS tariffs), in which a set of four general criteria and twelve specific criteria were distinguished, and based on the weights assigned, rankings were created highlighting the activities that have the greatest impact on low emission in urban areas. Based on the analyses, it was found that the most significant impact on reducing emissions in urban areas has led to decisions to increase investments in renewable energy sources and promote the reduction in household energy consumption.
