The objective of this paper is to present a methodology to evaluate the viability of developing solar photovoltaic projects for large investor-owned utilities. By taking into account the trade-off between the cost per kWh of electricity generation and total risk for an investor-owned utility, a...

The use of geothermal energy and its associated technologies has been increasing worldwide. However, there has been little paradigmatic research conducted in this area. This paper proposes a systematic methodology to research the development trends for the sustainable development of geothermal...

In this paper, a multi-objective decision-making model with birandom parameters is proposed. A birandom simulation technique is developed to tackle general birandom objective functions and birandom constraints. Combined with a birandom simulation technique, a genetic algorithm is designed for...
