Multi-Criteria Evaluation of Energy Systems with Sustainability Considerations

Multi-Criteria Evaluation of Energy Systems with Sustainability Considerations

A multi-criteria approach is presented for the assessment of alternative means for covering the energy needs (electricity and heat) of an industrial unit, taking into consideration sustainability aspects. The procedure is first described in general terms: proper indicators are defined; next they are grouped in order to form sub-indices, which are then used to determine the composite sustainabil...

Evaluation of recommender systems: A multi-criteria decision making approach

The evaluation and selection of recommender systems is a difficult decision making process. This difficulty is partially due to the large diversity of published evaluation criteria in addition to lack of standardized methods of evaluation. As such, a systematic methodology is needed that explicitly considers multiple, possibly conflicting metrics and assists decision makers to evaluate and find...

Sustainability Considerations in the Modeling of Energy Systems

During the 1970s and 1980s, extensive efforts were undertaken to increase the efficiency of energy conversion / use and to develop new technologies, which exploit alternative energy sources. In the 1990s, this changed somewhat and a part of the previous effort turned to research and development on ways of protecting the environment when developing, constructing, and operating energy conversion ...
