Decision making techniques can be applied to optimise trade-offs
plant efficiency, levelized unit energy costs, payback periods, energy
security and biomass saving.

The ANP structure helps to identify all relevant criteria, facilitate the development of
plants in India.
Conclusions
The effective utilisation of multi-criteria decision-making tools is
becoming increasingly important to manage the growing complexity
of sustainable energy systems.
