A Road Map to Detect the Foremost 3E Potential Areas for Installation of PV Façade Technology Using Multi-Criteria Decision Making

A procedure to prioritize the cities utilize a building integrated photovoltaic thermal (BIPV/T) system is proposed in which technique for order of preference by similarity ideal solution (TOPSIS) employed as systematic decision-making method. Electricity generation and heat recovery year from energy side, levelized cost electricity (LCOE), payback period (PBP) economic viewpoint, well carbon dioxide savings environmental perspective, are taken into account decision criteria. They key economic, environmental, (3E) performance indicators system. The novelty research approach two items. first item could be each every case. Moreover, another that selection made based on energy, criteria all together, important aspects an Having introduced procedure, it utilized rank five Iran installation BIPV/T technologies. Tehran, Tabriz, Yazd, Rasht, Bandar Abbas, where one populated city climatic conditions country. According results, high priority seen cities: Yazd with highest ambient temperature relative humidity among alternatives, other natural gas tariffs, greatest price operating maintenance. values recovery, generation, savings, PBP, LCOE 42.3 MWh, 23.4 16.8 tons, 5.48 years, 9.45 cents per kWh. corresponding Tehran 35.6 21.6 15.0 2.79 8.71 kWh, respectively.
