In the present day scenario the energy demand is going on increasing. It is expensive to import electricity from the generation far from load centers because of the cost of power loss. It is therefore more economical to use electricity generated by local distributed generators. In this paper power generation from wind, Combined Heat Power (CHP) and utility for a complete day is considered. This paper proposes different methods to evaluate the optimal generation of a particular day. The methods considered are Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method, Weighted Product (WP) Method and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) multi-criteria decision making technique. The results obtained by the multi-criteria evaluation using the presented method, gives the possibility of identification and evaluation of the optimal generation in a particular day.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
