Decision Support Systems to Obtain Decision Criteria by Fuzzy AHP for Location of Renewable Energy Facilities

摘要

Location of Renewable Energy Facilities will depend on various factors such as environmental, orography location and climatology criteria, which in turn are broken down into sub-criteria that will depend on the technology to locate. The objective of the present paper is to obtain the weights of the decision criteria which influence in the problem of location of renewable energy facilities, especially in wind farms and solar plants (photovoltaic and thermoelectric). To that end a Decision Support System (DSS) has been designed to help the decision-maker to obtain the weights of the criteria involved in this decision. Fuzzy AHP methodology is used with that DSS for the extraction of expert knowledge and to model the vague and imprecise data by triangular fuzzy numbers.
