Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process Based Reputation Evaluation for Generating Companies

Article Preview

Abstract:

It is not easy to evaluate the reputation of generating companies as the influence factors are multiple, complex, and partly subjective. A fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process method (AHP) with a set of power industry relevant criteria is applied in this paper. The fuzzy triangular number is introduced to characterize the subjective judgment of experts, and AHP is used to deal with the multiple evaluation factors, and to calculate the relevant weights with the aid of the arithmetic laws of fuzzy triangular number. Numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness of this model.
