Hybrid Renewable Energy Resources Selection Based on Multi Criteria Decision Methods for Optimal Performance

This paper used some Muti-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) techniques to select the best alternative renewable energy sources in Msallata city, south east of Tripoli, Libya. They were based on commitment from ministry Energy Libyan government lower their carbon footprint. The considered here are solar, wind, and biomass. MCDA is widely solve various decision problems through evaluation. methods currently applied every field can define any problem, alternatives, criteria. However, technique give different results. In this paper, four have been tested evaluated sector find alternative. results suggest that a combination wind solar most important source; plants alone second source. least source model biomass alone. work validated using HOMER Pro Software. Many these days almost all disciplines, but they may proved for dealing with renewables our case either COmplex PRoportional ASsessment (COPRAS) or VIseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR). COPRAS developed by Zavadskas, Kaklauskas, Sarka 1994, it maximiza minimize index values. VIKOR an abbreviation Serbian term means Multicriteria Optimization Compromise Solution, ranks selects alternatives conflicting
