Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The environmental consequences of the high demand for fossil fuels have led governments to adopt policies that encourage the introduction of renewable and sustainable energy projects. The selection among several renewable energy investment projects or different exploitation of sustainable renewable energy is a laborious task. This is because the decision maker must deal with multiple factors before selecting the most viable alternative. Due to the complex and multidimensional characteristic of social, biological, and physical systems, the use of multicriteria decision analysis models (MCDA) has been particularly effective.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Evaluation of technical, economic, environmental, and social aspects of renewable energy projects;
- Feasibility analysis of renewable energy projects;
- Risk analysis of renewable energy projects;
- Comparison of different renewable energy alternatives (e.g., solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, geothermal energy);
- Renewable energy project planning and selection analysis;
- Energy resource allocation analysis;
- Energy exploitation analysis;
- Energy policy analysis;
- Building energy management analysis;
- Transportation energy systems analysis;
- Energy supply systems analysis
