A preference analysis of renewable energy alternatives in Malaysia using fuzzy VIKOR method

In Malaysia, the main consumed energy is the fossil fuel. As the population continues to increase and the fossil fuels begin to deplete rapidly, it may not be possible to depend solely on fossil fuel. A feasible alternative should be sought to replace the dependency of the fossil fuel. In this pa...

In this paper, an evaluation is made on the experts’ preference of the type of eco-friendly renewable energy that is suitable to be used in Malaysia between biomass, solar, hydro or hybrid energy using the fuzzy VIKOR method.
