MULTIOBJECTIVE DECISION-MAKING APPROACH TO ENERGY SUPPLY MIX DECISIONS IN TAIWAN

Abstract

This article proposes an integrated multiobjective decision-making (MODM) model to deal with energy supply mix problems in Taiwan based on its characteristics. The analytical framework integrates multiobjective programming (MOP), multicriteria decision making (MCDM), and group decision making (GDM) methods and considers decision dependencies existing in the time horizon. The integrated model has the advantages of flexibility, reasonableness, and robustness. The analyzed outputs, including alternatives, the preferred solution, and the best compromise solution, are provided as a basis for decision making.
