Neutrosophic MCDM Methodology for Evaluation Onshore Wind for Electricity Generation and Sustainability Ecological

Abstract

The conviction in the necessity of renewable energy has been prompted by both the constantly increasing need for power production and the ecological issues of recent years. When it comes to generating power in a sustainable manner, wind is among the most essential renewable energy sources. This research attempts to present a structural technique for assessing the performance of operational onshore wind facilities with respect to the three dimensions of sustainability. The energy production, environmental effect, and practicability of onshore wind facilities are all dependent on accurate assessments. Wind resources, site accessibility, environmental impact, permitting and regulatory requirements, turbine technology, maintenance and operation, interconnection and transmission, and other criteria and factors are discussed in this research paper. Renewable energy, cost-effectiveness, dependability, and job creation are only a few of the advantages of onshore wind facilities that are mentioned. This study used the interval-valued neutrosophic set with the Weighted Sum Model (WSM) method to compute the weights of criteria and rank the alternatives. We got the wind speed and direction as the best criterion. The potential energy production of a wind plant is heavily dependent on the local wind speed and direction.
