Abstract

This chapter is focused in the selection of sustainability indicators for renewable energy evaluation. It compares the most used indicators found in the literature and defines a classification. Finally, a smaller collection of indicators is chosen to be used in the case study presented in Chap. 6. A detailed definition is described for each indicator.
