“…This technique begins by identifying the strengths and weaknesses of design, focusing on project organization. Its analysis identifies any opportunity and threat [31]. In addition, it also examines the extent to which the strengths offset threats and opportunities that can be used to overcome weaknesses.…”

Decision-Making for Risk Management in Sustainable Renewable Energy Facilities: A Case Study in the Dominican Republic

et al. 2016

Today, Renewable Energy Sources (RES) are a key pillar to achieving sustainable development, which is the main reason why energy projects are being carried out not only in developed countries but also in many emerging countries. Since the technical and financial risk remains a major barrier to financing renewable energy projects, several mechanisms are available to reduce risks on investment into clean energy projects. This paper discusses risk management tools in solar photovoltaic facilities based on the guide to the Project Management (PMBOK Guide). To do this, a combination of different decision-making methodologies will be carried out. These methodologies enable to not only extract the knowledge by experts but also to know the causes and effects that help to make the best decision. In order to do so, techniques to seek information (Delphi and Checklist) as well as diagram techniques such as cause and effect diagrams or Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) are applied. The categorization and prioritization of risks will be carried out through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Finally, a sensitivity analysis will allow for providing consistency to the obtained results. A real case in the Dominican Republic will also be presented as case study.

“…For this, we applied the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method, according to Saaty [22]. The AHP method has been applied in a wide range of different studies, such as on strategic energy management in industry [23], renewable energy technologies [24,25], or modeling and simulation techniques [26,27]. The goal of the combination of a SWOT and an AHP analysis is to quantify the relative importance of the respective SWOT factors.…”

Fourth-generation district heating networks (4GDH) can play a special role in the efficient and climate-friendly use of energy. In this study, we have examined the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) of this innovative technology. Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods, we assessed the SWOT-factors in terms of their importance. Among the factors that were weighted with the highest relative importance were the ability of 4GDH to serve as a label bundling and stimulating considerations with respect to the further development of district heating systems and the increased value creation within the national economy through the inclusion of local, renewable energy sources. Moreover, the interviewed experts agreed that regulatory frameworks in the context of 4GDH have to be further developed.

“…Our aim was to conceive the model in a way that allows for informative utilization even without exact data. We applied the method in simulating the bottom-up diffusion of photovoltaic citizen power plants in Austria [2], [3]. The focus was on complementing individual traits of respondents from an empirical survey with missing information on peer effects.…”

“…In Austria, several bottom-up initiatives in the field of collective adoption of photovoltaics (PV) have been observed in recent years [2], [3]. Citizens collectively engage in PV projects, either by investing in respective projects, or by joining initiatives that install modules on member roofs.…”
