Prime mover selection in thermal power plant integrated with organic Rankine cycle for waste heat recovery using a novel multi criteria decision making approach

In the present study, a hybrid multi criteria decision-making (MCDM) method based on the fuzzy analytic network process (ANP), fuzzy decision-making trail and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) and fuzzy preference ranking organization method for enrichment evaluations (PROMETHEE) is used to choose the best Prime Mover (PM) in a thermal power plant integrated with Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) for waste heat recovery. Five main options for the PM...
