MCDM for simultaneous optimum economy, investment risk and environmental impact for distributed renewable power: Demonstration with an Indian village data

Sayan Das et al.

Summary: Increasing the share of renewable energy in power supply is a global priority, especially in remote areas where reliable grid power is not available. However, issues such as limited availability of local renewable resources, high unit electricity cost, and investors' uncertainty in return on investment pose challenges. This study aims to find technically efficient, economically optimal, and environmentally friendly energy combinations for distributed generation, using a comprehensive analysis that integrates techno-economic optimization, uncertainty analysis, and environmental impact assessment. The analysis results suggest that a solar photovoltaic-diesel generator-battery system combination is the possible optimum solution, with a cost of electricity of $0.21/kW.h, a standard deviation of 0.07 for investment risk, and moderate environmental impact.
