Abstract

Nature of resource planning has changed dramatically since 1970s due to increased diversity in resource options such as renewable alternatives, demand-side management, space conditioning, cogeneration of heat and electricity in industrial applications, and deregulation of the energy market. Along with that new objectives have been added to the utilities’ decision-making processes beyond cost minimization (Hobbs, Eur. J. Oper. Res., 83:1–20, 1995). Moreover; technological development, instability in fuel markets, and government regulations are taking place faster than ever before and as a result complexity and uncertainty involved in decision-making practices have become increasingly significant. This chapter provides an approach based on hierarchical decision modeling to consider new factors in evaluating energy efficiency technologies.
