MADM for Exploration of Solar Energy Potential

Present study is among the very first attempts to prioritize the prominent Indian states for better utilization of available solar resources. In this context, potentiality indices are performed on the basis of six prime factors that influence the effective utilization of solar energy and ranking. The selection of an optimal state from the pool of alternative states on the basis of two or more attributes is a Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM) problem. This book provides a brief idea about various MADM approached that can effectively address such problems. Such studies are capable to make a paradigm shift in technology utilization and formulation of energy policies as the proposed approach provides a concrete layout for re-evaluation of current policies as well as formulation of newer ones.
