Abstract

The major objective of the current investigation is to build an integrated multiple criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) methodology based on combined compromise solution (CoCoSo) andspherical fuzzy set for determining the optimal solar power station. To begin with, an innovative spherical fuzzy score function is brought forward to strengthen the efficiency of the comparison for spherical fuzzy number (SFN). Secondly, several newly operational laws for SFN are defined and some novel aggregation operation based on them are propounded. The corresponding excellent properties of the novel operators are also explored at length. Further, the spherical fuzzy method on the removal effects of criteria (MEREC) technique is presented by the proposed score function to work out the importance of the criteria. Lastly, an MCGDM approach is propounded based on improved spherical fuzzy CoCoSo to obtain the ranking of the solar power station locations. The feasibility and practicability of the proposed SF-MEREC-CoCoSo method are investigated through the comparison study with the extant methods. The sensibility analysis is also executed to discuss the robustness and stability of the propounded methodology.
