Decision Support System for the Assess-ment and ranking of Energy Generation Technologies

Article presents a priority determination and utility analysis of energy generation technologies; it was done with the help of AHP and COPRAS, mathematical multi-criteria methods, and the EGT-SELECT-DS, a decision support system based on these methods. The research results suggest that the assessment and choice of energy generation technologies using multi-criteria methods and DSS is a good way to combine the performance criteria, cost-effectiveness, and ecological integrity with the criteria of technological innovativeness, socially responsible operation and sustainable development. The main objective and novelty of the paper is developed MCDM DSS in which are aggregated two different methods.
