Multi-Criteria Evaluation of Distributed Energy System Based on Order Relation-Anti-Entropy Weight Method

Abstract

Distributed Energy System (DES), a comprehensive energy utilization system distributed on user side, has been recognized as a promising energy utilization method that can improve energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and achieve sustainable development. However, the DES is usually driven by various energy sources, and it is a complex issue to decide the composition of the system. To improve the incompleteness of a single subjective or objective assessment. So, it is urgent to find a comprehensive and efficient decision-making method for different systems. This paper states a total of 23 indicators in 4 criterion group: technology, economy, environment, and society. Based on the combination of the order relation analysis method (G1) and the anti-entropy weighting method (a-EWM), a comprehensive evaluation model, order relation-anti-entropy weight model (G1-aEWM), of distributed energy is established. This comprehensive evaluation model is used to analyze a hospital in Henan and find the final solution for the distributed energy system of the hospital. The empirical analysis results verify the rationality of the comprehensive evaluation model and provide an evaluation basis for the establishment of distributed energy systems in the future.

Data-Driven Coupling Coordination Development of Regional Innovation EROB Composite System: An Integrated Model Perspective

“…The objective weighting method examines the correlation between indicators according to objective data, and the weighting coefficient has strong objectivity. Common objective weighting methods include the entropy method [72], principal component analysis method [73], and anti-entropy weight method [74]. The entropy method is an objective weight determination method [75].…”

Investment Efficiency Assessment of Distribution Network for the High Proportion of Renewable Energy: A Hybrid Multiattribute Decision-Making Method

“…Entropy is a concept in system thermodynamics, which was later introduced into information theory. It is a measure of the disorder degree of a system [28][29][30]. When there are kinds of possible states in the system, and each possible state occurs with the probability of p j (j � 1, 2, .…”

Research on the Evaluation Model of Physical Asset Management Maturity of China's Inter-provincial Grid Enterprises

“…Guopeng Zhao et al [5] combined subjective and objective evaluation methods, and proposed a comprehensive evaluation method for AC/DC hybrid microgrid planning based on analytic hierarchy process and entropy weight method, and evaluated the problems by establishing a multi-attribute weighted decision model. (2) In terms of power grid development, scholars are concerned about the balance of power and electricity [6] , the establishment of distributed energy systems [7] , the grid connection of power terminals [8] , the operating conditions of power enterprises [9][10][11] , and customer satisfaction [12,13] and The demand and pricing of power projects [14] are evaluated and discussed, the complex indicators are streamlined, and the method of analytic hierarchy and entropy weight combination is used to determine the indicator weight, which makes up for the shortcomings in the single subjective or objective weight determination process. Some scholars have also conducted research on the current development level of power grids [15,16] , used the method of cluster analysis to classify provincial-level power supply companies according to power supply quality indicators, and identify the gap between standard companies and industry benchmarks, so as to continuously improve management levels and benefits.…”
