Abstract
A complex and multicriteria decision making (MCDM) problem arises in a bid to select the most appropriate hybrid energy system among several combinations in distributed electricity generation as it involves conflicting criteria that must be simultaneously considered. In this work, Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC) along with Combinative Distance-Based Assessment (CODAS) was employed to select a suitable hybrid energy system combination for water pumping from four conflicting alternatives of Biomass-Battery (S1), PV-Battery (S2), PV-Biomass (S3), and PV-Biomass-Battery (S4) by objective weight estimation. This was followed by a confirmation by the Additive Ratio Assessment (ARAS) method for the solution. The results presented show that CRITIC method reveals 0.275, 0.224, 0.248, and 0.252 as different weights of the four alternatives of S1, S2, S3, and S4, respectively. The ranking results reveal S4 as the best alternative based on an assessment score of 0.4693. The same hybrid system was confirmed by ARAS based on overall performance and degree of utility of 0.287697 and 0.823716, respectively.
