“…The capacity factor has also been considered as a sub criterion of the technological aspect (Baris and Kucukali 2012;Talinli et al 2010). The capacity factor is the ratio of the actual production of a power plant during a time period to Ruan et al 2010;Wang et al 2010;Talinli et al 2010;Jing et al 2012;Cristóbal 2011;Doukas et al 2010;Kahraman 2011, 2010;Kahraman et al 2009;Ren et al 2009;Jovanovic et al 2009 its production at continuous full power operation, during the same period. Since both efficiency and capacity factors are related to the amount of useful energy obtained from a source, efficiency is taken into account as an evaluation criterion in this study.…”

“…Among availability, current energy infrastructure, price, safety, environmental impacts and social impacts, current energy infrastructure was found to be the most critical criterion for energy resource selection. Ren et al (2009) applied the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROM-ETHEE) method to select a residential energy supply system for a typical residential building in Kitakyushu, Japan. They indicated that although different results may be found by different MCDM methods, the general trend is always similar.…”

Energy planning is difficult to model owing to its complex structure, with numerous decision makers, criteria, and scenarios. Fortunately, decisionmaking methods can be helpful for the sustainable development of energy, by the evaluation of different energy sources with regard to multiple aspects, for example, economic, environmental, political etc. In this study, a methodology based on a cumulative belief degree approach is proposed for the prioritization of energy sources. The approach enables the use of all types of evaluations, without the loss of any information. It also allows for incomplete expert evaluations which may occur in the energy sources prioritization problem. Turkey, like many countries, generates most of energy from fossil fuels, which are imported mostly from other countries. However, the enormous increase in oil prices, and an emerging energy demand, owing to economic growth and environmental issues, is forcing Turkey to improve its sustainable energy planning. Therefore, the proposed methodology is applied to the energy sources prioritization of Turkey. Results show that solar power and wind should be considered as the priori sources of energy in Turkey.

SUMMARYOwing to the wide range of trigeneration systems suitable for small-scale applications, the selection of the optimal system according to the end users' requirements and environmental conditions is crucial. The evaluation and comparison of possible alternatives of trigeneration systems are a multi-criteria decision problem because not only economic aspects must be considered but also technical, environmental and social aspects. This paper presents the case of selection of a trigeneration system for a typical residential building. Several kinds of trigeneration systems, whose dynamical sources are Stirling engines, micro-turbines, reciprocating engines and fuel cells, respectively, and a separate generation system are evaluated and compared in detail. As the evaluation criteria are a mixture of quantitative and qualitative criteria, quantitative multi-criteria methods are inadequate for handling this type of problems. Therefore a multi-criteria decision-making method, which combines the subjectivity of decision maker and the objectivity of numerical data, based on Fuzzy Set Theory and Analytic Hierarchy Process is proposed to solve this selection problem.

Abstract. Different energy systems were developed on the basis of the major equipment of distributed energy systems (DES). According to the demand of loads, energy prices, and technical and financial information about optional technologies, using non-linear programming, an optimization model for DES was established. The optimum configuration, optimal operation scheme and evaluation criteria matrix were the results of the model. The information entropy was used to determine the weight distribution, then the multi-criteria comprehensive evaluation method was introduced. The results demonstrate that photovoltaic system is optimal scheme due to its lower cost, energy conservation and environmental protection.
