Application of AHP-DEMATEL and GMDH Framework to Develop an Indicator to Identify Failure Probability of Wave Energy Converter

Application of AHP-VIKOR and GMDH framework to develop an indicator to identify utilisation potential of wave energy converter with respect to location

“…GMDH has been applied in various studies such as compressive strength of concrete based on absorbed extraterrestrial solar radiations (Najafzadeh and Tafarojnoruz, 2016), prediction of discharge rate and water quality (Kewalramani and Gupta, 2016), identification of failure probability of wave energy converter (Chakraborty and Majumder, 2017a), and short-term wind speed forecasting (Kaur et al, 2016).…”

“…1 Efficiency potential: the commonly used equation for calculating the power potential, as proposed by Chakraborty and Majumder (2017a), is given in equation (2).…”

“…In Chakraborty and Majumder (2017a) study, the failure probability was considered to find the most feasible location with respect to a specific type of converters. In this study, the AHP and DEMATEL were hybridised to predict the significance of the parameter.…”

“…AHP was also used in another study (Chakraborty and Majumder, 2017a) individually to identify the significance of the parameter without considering multiple methods and concluding to propose uniform practices during the evaluation of the evaluating factors. Although the AHP is popular for its flexibility and ease of use, it has been found to fail to identify fuzziness and select a parameter based on degrees, which results in a quick but often unreliable decision.…”
