Selecting a small run-of-river hydropower plant by the analytic hierarchy process (AHP): A case study of Miño-Sil river basin, Spain

Abstract: a b s t r a c tHydroelectric power is obtained by harnessing the potential energy of a mass of water flowing along a river bed to convert it first into mechanical and then into electrical energy. The system is therefore both clean and autonomous and has a high potential for development.A small hydropower plant has an installed power capacity of below 10 MW and is considered run-ofriver when it diverts part of a river flow to generate its electricity.The use of multicriteria techniques in environmental decision… Show more

“…Furthermore, it has been shown that multicriteria decision support methods can be successfully used to select the best project for a small run-of-river hydropower plant. The AHP method has selected the key criteria to determine the impact on the environment and made it possible to choose the most balanced investment options [83,84]. Research has also attempted to integrate the Geographic Information System (GIS) and Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) to find a suitable site for a dam [85].…”

“…This method was used, for example, by Supriyasilp et al (2009) to study the potential to develop HP projects in the Ping River Basin (Thailand), considering 64 potential sites. Fuentes- Bargues and Ferrer-Gisbert (2015) also proposed an application of AHP to select the best small run-of-the-river HP plant among three alternative projects in the Miño-Sil river basin (Spain), while Kumar and Katoch (2015) used AHP to establish a ranking of the most sustainable installed capacity range (i.e., mini, small, and large) of run-of-the-river HP projects for the Himalayan region (India). On the contrary, Jiménez Capilla et al (2016) used a spatial MCDM, based on AHP and geographical information systems (GIS), to determine the optimal location for an upper reservoir of a pumped-storage system in the Guadalfeo river basin (Spain).…”

“…In recent years, some studies have used the AHP method to solve different decision problems such as selection of the most appropriate package of solar home systems (Ahammed and Azeem, 2013), prioritization of safety risks in construction projects (Aminbakhsh et al, 2013), selection of a small run-of-river hydropower plant (Fuentes-Bargues and Ferrer-Gisbert, 2015), contractor selection (Hadidi and Khater, 2015), prioritization of manufacturing sectors in Serbia for energy management improvement (Jovanović et al, 2015), selection of strategies for rice stem borer management (Abdollahzadeh et al, 2016), and prioritization of water quality parameters (Sutadian et al, 2017). These studies have proved that the AHP method is highly successful in solving decisionmaking problems.…”
