Criteria for smart grid deployment in Brazil by applying the Delphi method

A review on smart grids and experiences in Brazil

“…About the power system, Brazil has automation on generation and transmission systems, obsolete assets on distribution, and energy quality problems, once the indicator equivalent duration of interruption per consumer per year has grown over the years and the energy recovery is precarious, pointing out the need for control [29]. Moreover, it faces commercial losses on power grid, corresponding to 8.7% of the total produced electricity [30].…”

The use of grey-based methods in multi-criteria decision analysis for the evaluation of sustainable energy systems: A review

“…The Delphi method may be used to select criteria such as assigning weights [120][121][122][123][124][125][126][127][128][129][130]. This technique is based on obtaining a reliable expert-panel consensus view on a specific topic [131,132].…”

Management of Effective Factors in Components’ Supply Chain on Losses of Electric Distribution System

“…As a data collection method, the Delphi method can fall into the category of both a quantitative and qualitative study. It is useful when the phenomenon under study is complex or when the topic is somehow delicate or the number of members in the focus group is relatively small (Lilija et al, 2011;Galo et al, 2014). Therefore, the initial table is given to each of the experts individually and, their aspects are collected and analyzed about the assumed values.…”
