Abstract
Simulation-Based Optimization Integrated Multiple Criteria Decision-Making Framework for Wave Energy Site Selection: A Case Study of Australia
Highlights
After reviewing all of the above feasibility conditions according to Australia National Database [68], this study identifies 25 potential locations for offshore wave energy projects (WEPs) in Australia
The optimal weight of the criteria is determined by the non-linear programming model of the Fuzzy BWM approach
The ranking of potential locations is determined by the simulation-based Fuzzy TODIM method
Summary
Depleting fossil reserves and rising prices, especially in the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, have increased the urgency of renewable energy options. To sustainably satisfy energy consumption, the renewable energy industry has grown rapidly in Australia in the last five years. Australia's wave energy potential is among the top in the world [5]. On the southeastern shelf of Australia, the observed time-average wave energy is 25-35 kWm−1 [6]. According to forecasts, wave energy could contribute 11% of Australia's energy by 2050 [7].
