Sustainable Energy Development: A
Multi-Criteria Decision Making Approachdiscusses sustainable energy
development, the main path for achieving carbon neutrality, and the use
of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) in assessing energy
transition in both operational and socio-political forms. It proposes
ways to support responsible decision making toward sustainable energy
in key areas such as power distribution, household energy, and
transportation. The authors have developed frameworks and tools to help
choose sustainable energy options like renewable energy technologies,
energy efficiency improvements, policies, and how to promote them in
different communities. The book includes several case studies focused
on electricity, district heating, transport sectors in the European
Union (EU), and decision making in the household sector.
Features
- Analyzes the connection between sustainable energy development and the transition toward a carbon neutral society.
- Compares and discusses advanced MCDM tools to support sustainable energy options.
- Develops
new frameworks of indicators for the assessment of sustainable
regional and national energy system planning, and provides practical
illustrative examples in various energy sectors.
- Provides policy implications when promoting sustainable energy development.
- Presents
case studies on the applications of multi-criteria tools to support
sustainable energy options in different energy sectors.
Readers
interested in gaining insight into leading trends in energy efficiency
and sustainability, such as academics, researchers, graduate students,
and professionals interested in sustainable energy and energy
producers, city planners, policy makers, and more, will benefit from
the topics and frameworks discussed in this book.
