| Abstract |
| The demand for energy sources has significantly increased recently due to the expansion of industry and society. Therefore, as a substitute for non-renewable energy sources, research is being done on renewable energy sources (RESs). Developing countries with fast-growing populations and economies are also considering their existing renewable energy sources. However, choosing the most appropriate RESs requires a multi-criteria approach that considers diverse ecological, social, technical, and economic features, both subjective and objective criteria weights. Multi-Attribute Decision Making (MADM) approaches have been extensively studied, especially in situations where there is uncertainty and ambiguity. However, effectively integrating uncertainty and ambiguity into decision-making continues to be a challenge. For the purpose of choosing the best renewable energy sources RESs, a new framework is presented in this research. The framework makes use of An acronym in Portuguese of interactive and multi-criteria decision-making(TODIM), an interactive, multi-criteria decision-making technique, and the interval-valued set. The Converting linguistic concepts into interval-valued functions is the framework's initial step. We next calculate the weights of each linguistic variable, as well as the weights of the decision-makers (DMs) and weighted attributes. An aggregated single value of the interval-valued function (IVF) decision matrix is then determined for the DMs.Lastly, the framework derives the overall values, ranks the options, and calculates the overall dominance-degree matrix. The approach is used to assess if renewable energy sources RESs are suitable in India. The results of the investigation indicate that wind energy is India's top renewable energy source (RES), followed by small hydro energy. |
