Optimum design of a standalone solar photovoltaic system based on novel integration of iterative-PESA-II and AHP-VIKOR methods

Solar energy is considered one of the most important renewable energy resources, and can be used to power a stand-alone photovoltaic (SAPV) system for supplying electricity in a remote area. However, inconstancy and unpredictable amounts of solar radiation are considered major obstacles in designing...
