Multicriteria Decision-Making for Evaluating Solar Energy Source of Saudi Arabia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Saudi Arabia generates more than 98% of its electricity through hydrocarbon resources. To reduce the consumption fossil fuel resources and protect environment, government is planning to make renewable energy an essential part mix. In this study, due country’s abundant solar potential, has been selected as source generate in Arabia. The two technologies, photovoltaic (PV) thermal, have analyzed three different locations within country. Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques were used rank cities for each technologies. SAW(Simple Additive Weighting)-AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) MCDM method based on climate, environmental, technical, economic, social adopted analyze suitability technology all locations. assign weights criteria AHP was used, while SAW used. results show that PV technology, Abha ranked 1st with a performance score 91%, making it most suitable location, followed by Jeddah 83%. While thermal 96%, 91%. systems generated maximum 11,019 MWh Abha, produced 14,000 Jeddah. Overall, outperformed higher temperature. analysis technologies study provides valuable insight identifying best site

Spatial Multicriteria Decision Making
DEFINITION Multicriteria analysis is generally defined as “a decision-aid and a mathematical tool allowing the comparison of different alternatives or scenarios according to many criteria, often conflicting, in order to guide the decision maker towards a judicious choice” [12]. The set of decision alternatives considered in a given problem is often denoted by A and called the set of potential a...
متن کاملInterval-Based Multicriteria Decision Making
The aim of this paper is to show how non-additive measures and intervals can be combined in order to provide a simple and accurate approach to multi-criteria decision making problems. We construct an interval-based Choquet integral in order to derive preferences over a set of multidimensional alternatives. Preferences are no longer real number comparisons, but interval comparisons, which is not...
متن کاملFuzzy Systems for Multicriteria Decision Making
One of the techniques used to support decisions in uncertain environments is the Fuzzy TOPSIS method. However, from crisp data, this method considers only one fuzzy set in their analysis, besides being a strictly mathematical optimization technique. This article proposes extensions to the original Fuzzy TOPSIS, exploring two distinct versions: to increase the method with the necessary resources...

"Broadcast" theory is one of the common theories explaining how phenomena and ideas spread. It is used by researchers in different fields of study. Having studied broadcast theory and its different components, this article tries to represent whether Islamic revolution of Iran has exerted influence on Saudi Arabia. And if positive, how it has influenced and how much it has been. The results sug...
