Hierarchical Analysis Method Application in Prioritization of Power Plant with Renewable Energy in Iran-case study

Abstract

With regard to the importance of scientific decision-making in power plants prioritization to produce electrical energy (power) from renewable energies (purified), in this paper, research with specialists opinions with respond to questionnaires provided upon three efficient operational criterion in position of three presented power plant in country which used wind, solar water energies for producing energy, and using group hierarchical analysis multi-criteria decision-making method (AHP), options prioritization performed Achieved results indicates this fact that among three presented criteria, environmental issues are the most important criteria and standards of maintenance costs and also initial investment cost per Kw/h produced electricity (power), in order of importance, are in second place and one the other hand, among three presented power plant in Iran which used renewable energies (new) for producing power, wind power plant placed in first priority and then solar and electrical power plants- water are in the second placed
