Fuzzy-TOPSIS for Appropriate Site Selection for Establishing a Thermal Power Plant

Article Preview

Abstract:

Thermal Power Plant (TPP) is one of those discoveries that have changed the daily life of everybody and playing vital role in the present real world. The selection of site for thermal power plant, affects the amount of energy generated, power generation cost, economical development, environment and transmission (loss of power). In present work, fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (FMCDM) approach is proposed for site selection of TPP under partial or incomplete information. The proposed approach initially identified the criteria for site selection of TPP. Then the experts are provided linguistic ratings as well as weights to the potential alternatives against the selected criteria. Fuzzy-TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) is applied to generate aggregate scores selection of best alternative. Finally a case empirical research is adapted to fruitful the proposed approach.
