Analytical Assessment of Renewable Energy Sources and Energy Storage Concerning their Merits for the Electric Power System

A novel multilevel decision-making evaluation approach for the renewable energy heating systems: A case study in China

“…Renewable energy heating, an input-output production system involving exploration, development, operation and consumption, inevitably needs to be judged by multi-dimensional criteria (Zhang et al, 2019). Due to different research focuses, scholars have evaluated different types of RE performance from different perspectives, including economic performance (Korsavi et al, 2018;Lehr et al, 2012), energy performance (Dong and Shi, 2019;Raugei and Leccisi, 2016), environmental performance (Adams and Acheampong, 2019;Dogan and Seker, 2016), technology performance (Henninger et al, 2017), and policy performance (Matsumoto et al, 2017;Pérez de Arce et al, 2016). Some studies have also assessed multiple performances of RE by using different methods (Amer and Daim, 2011;Atmaca and Basar, 2012).…”

Fuzzy-Based Investigation of Challenges for the Deployment of Renewable Energy Power Generation

“…This includes various MCDM tools applied in the planning of processes based on energy [17,18], water resource management [19], material selection techniques [20,21], and machine applications [22] with the ranking of different renewable power systems [23]. GIS-based selection for solar power site suitability [24], use of AHP for micro-grid source selection [25], implementation of solar plant through MCDM [26], integrated approach using GIS-MCDM for optimal selection of hydropower location [27], fuzzy-MULTIMOORA approach for energy storage technologies [28], use of MCDM in renewable energy project [29,30] are some of the relevant literatures. The growth of RE share in total energy production is slow, but RE is certainly becoming a significant alternative worldwide.…”
