Multi-Criteria Evaluation of the Scheduling of a Hydrothermal Power System Using Analytic Hierarchy Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

The scheduling of a hydrothermal power system needs to take into account multiple economic, social and environmental criteria, such as power production, flood protection and control, water supply for agricultural, industrial and domestic uses, navigation, water quality control, ecological environment protection, fishery, recreation, and pollutant emission control. In addition, determination of the scheduling must involve the participation of various stakeholders. Hence, this paper proposes a framework for multi-criteria evaluation of the scheduling of a hydrothermal power system based on group decision making using analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The AHP is used to select a balanced scheduling scheme out of a number of alternatives through performing pairwise comparisons according to judgments of the decision group members.
