“…A total of four criteria and 18 sub criteria taking consideration on society, transportation, environment, and technology. Another example of AHP-GIS system is proposed by F. C. Jong et al [22], who presented a case study of AHP-GIS system in Sarawak, Malaysia, for identifying potential renewable energy sites.…”

Traditional communication technologies for distribution substations will soon have difficulties meeting the needs of emerging applications. This is due to exponential population growth and future energy demands, which necessitate a reliable and fast response from the grid. Thus, this research aims to aid decisionmakers in selecting the best communication technologies for an electrical distribution substation. In this study, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to shortlist, rank, and decide the most suitable communication technologies for an electrical substation based on its geographical location. The main criteria used for the selection are technical criteria, economic criteria, infrastructure, and service standards. The weight obtained from the pairwise comparison for each criterion is based on the literature review and expert opinions. The results comprise rankings of communication technologies tailored to different demographic settings, including urban, suburban, and rural areas. These rankings are generated through a comprehensive pairwise comparison process, building upon the earlier comparative analysis. Additionally, a structured framework has been developed to select the most appropriate communication technology for electrical substations in urban, suburban, and rural areas.INDEX TERMS analytical hierarchy process (AHP), communication technologies, energy, multi criteria decision making (MCDM), smart grid, substations.

“…Jong et al [25] found that Tatau has an abundance of potential for renewable energy due to its strategic location relative to the renewable resources, reasonable distance to road access, considerable population and mild land slope. However, they only focused on evaluating the potential of renewable energy for Tatau, and several other locations in Sarawak, based on geographical data.…”

With a growing global population and energy demand, there is increasing concern about the world’s reliance on fossil fuels, which have a negative impact on the climate, necessitating the immediate transition to a cleaner energy resource. This effort can be initiated in the rural areas of developing countries for a sustainable, efficient and affordable energy source. This study evaluated four types of renewable energy (solar, wind, biomass, and mini-hydro energy) using the integrated Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) approaches to select the best renewable energy source in Tatau, Sarawak. The criteria under consideration in this study included the environment, engineering and economics. The LCA was used to assess the environmental impact of renewable energies from gate-to-grave boundaries based on 50 MJ/day of electricity generation. The AHP results showed that solar energy received the highest score of 0.299 in terms of the evaluated criteria, followed by mini-hydro, biomass and wind energy, which received scores of 0.271, 0.230 and 0.200, respectively. These findings can be used to develop a systematic procedure for determining the best form of renewable energy for rural areas. This approach could be vital for the authorities that are responsible for breaking down multi-perspective criteria for future decision making in the transition into renewable energy.
