“…In reference [6], a multiobjective optimization problem is presented which pursues two optimization objectives for the optimal operation of hybrid AC/DC microgrid. In [7], a two-step energy management process is proposed for AC/DC hybrid distribution network, which is considered as a multi-objective optimization problem for minimizing both the operation cost and energy loss. Although previous studies have provided significant progress in the field of energy management and optimal operation of hybrid networks, none of them completely implemented the whole generation units, whereas the current investigation takes all sectors of energy generations in the energy management scheme.…”

The ongoing development of technology has changed the nature of electric networks in the field of electric power generation. In the same vein, the generation units and demands are getting close by the integration of distributed resources within the distribution system with the aim of bringing more advantages to the system. Considering the promising concept of hybrid networks, which comprises different distributed resources, as a supportive element for the power system, this paper mainly focuses on modeling a distributed hybrid network, through which both the AC and DC loads can be supplied within the hybrid network. This network is operated in a distributed way where no independent operator is assumed for the operation. The primal-dual method of multipliers (PDMM) as an effective distributed method handles the operation of this network. So far, this method has only been applied to the AC grid or DC grid separately, while the presented method is modified for the operation of the hybrid network. Convergence speed and preciseness are mentioned as the advantages of this method which dominates the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). In real cases, there are some errors in the output power of the renewable resources. Aiming to make the presented PDMM method more applicable, the uncertainty is also modelled using the Unscented Transform (UT) approach, as a way of uncertainty modelling which has shown attractive features, especially the capability of correlation modelling; therefore, it is more preferable for uncertainty modeling in many cases compared to the other methods. The proposed work is implemented on a smart island and the authenticity of this work is proved by comparing the performance of the proposed distributed approach with the centralized method.

“…The approach identifies energy alternatives by integrating experts' input and data analytics to help decisionmakers design long-term strategies for renewable energy development. Bhowmik et al (2020) developed an innovative integrated analytical framework as a benchmark for selecting the optimal green energy source in accordance with various sustainability dimensions. The framework helps to identify the optimum green energy source (solar energy) for a cleaner future using AHP.…”

Renewable energy sources are environmentally friendly and sustainable resources. However, there is no unique renewable energy resource that suits all countries. As such, nations must select the right optionor combination of optionsthat aligns with their local economic, technical, and environmental circumstances. Such a selection process is usually performed using a decision-making tool based on multi-criteria analysis. This study aims to find the most effective renewable energy option for Jordan by soliciting experts' opinions under several criteria and sub-criteria. The collected responses of experts from the energy field were analyzed using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP). The AHP model used in the study consisted of four criteria, eleven sub-criteria, and four renewable energy alternatives. The results indicate that the technical criterion had the highest weight of 53.6% as compared to the environmental criterion which came second with a weight of 29.0% followed by geographical and socioeconomic criteria which have the lowest weights of 11.3% and 6.0%, respectively. The results reveal that under the technical criterion a high rank has given to maturity of the technology followed by availability of know-how with a weight of 0.875 and 0.125, respectively. The sequence of the preferable options based on the study results was: wind energy with 51.9%, followed by the solar energy option with 31.3%, and finally biomass and hydropower with 10.5% and 7.1%, respectively. Sensitivity analysis was performed and showed that the renewable energy options are not sensitive to the technical or environmental criteria, while they were slightly sensitive to the geographical and socioeconomic criteria.

This study aims to find out the strategic priorities of the technical factors to have sustainable low carbon industry. For this purpose, a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) is proposed that contains three different stages. First, the economic criteria required for sustainable development and the technical needs of the low carbon industry are defined by making a comprehensive literature review. After that, economic criteria are weighted by using the fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) methodology. Finally, technical factors are ranked with the help of the fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) approach. Moreover, another analysis is also performed by considering fuzzy Vise Kriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) to evaluate the consistency of the analysis results. The main motivation of this study is to define the primary technical factors to minimize carbon emission problem by proposing a hybrid MCDM model. The findings indicate that research and development for renewable sources has the greatest importance for low-carbon industry. In addition, the analysis results of fuzzy TOPSIS and fuzzy VIKOR are quite similar. This situation demonstrates the consistency and coherency of the ranking results. Hence, it is recommended that countries should mainly give importance to the research and development investments so that the costs of renewable energy problems can be minimized. This situation can attract the attentions of the companies to invest in these projects. In this way, it will be possible to use a cleaner energy in industrial production.
