Renewable energy resource management using an integrated robust decision making model under entropy and similarity measures of fuzzy hypersoft set

Abstract

The demand for renewable energy has significantly increased over the last decade with increased attention to the preservation of the environment and sustainable, optimal resource management. As traditional sources of energy production are depleting at an alarming rate and causing longlasting environmental damage, it is essential to explore green and cost-effective methodologies for meeting energy demand. With each country having different geographical, political, social, and natural factors, the problem arises of which renewable energy should be utilized for optimal resource management. This multi -criteria decision making (MCDM) challenge is tackled by applying a dynamic fuzzy hypersoft set -based Method for the evaluation of currently deployed Renewable Energy systems and providing a decision support system for the installation of new ones based on the factors mentioned above for Turkey. As the installation of new renewable energy projects and the evaluation of old ones is significantly influenced by human judgment, it leaves great room for uncertainty primarily because of the psychological factors of the expert. The novel concept of Fuzzy Hypersoft Sets (FHSs) and their Entropy (EN) and TOPSIS-based operations are first discussed with reference to the problem at hand. The presented structure is superior to the ones in the literature by allowing access to data parameters as sub -parametric values while utilizing the versatility of Fuzzy structures to deal with uncertainty. The technique has great potential to serve as a potential decision support system in any setting. For now, hypothetical expert ratings are used to illustrate the working of the dynamic structure along with a sensitivity analysis to investigate the primary criterion weights in sorting. The evaluation of currently deployed renewable energy systems using our methodology revealed an average improvement in system performance compared to traditional methods. Furthermore, the decision support system for the installation of new projects based on geographical, political, social, and natural factors exhibited a potential increase in overall system efficiency. These numeric outcomes highlight the effectiveness and practical applicability of our approach in optimizing resource management and fostering sustainable energy practices.
