Abstract

An optimum selection of potential future energy resources is now need of all the nations. This study aim1s to rank viable energy resources for India. We consider six sources of energy namely, hydropower, solar, wind, coal and lignite, gas and liquid, and nuclear energy. The objective is to provide a quantitative analysis for the selection of most feasible and sustainable source of energy by critically analyzing them based on six criteria namely: feasibility, investment ratio, useful life, operational and management cost, risk in operation and pollutants emission. We have employed fuzzy and interval-based multiple attribute decision making approaches in order to consider uncertainty associated with the data. The criteria understudy are prioritized using modified digital logic method. Our results show that wind and solar energy are the most effective sources of energy due to their ease of access, lack of risk and eco-friendly nature.
