Goal programming models with interval coefficients for the sustainable selection of marine renewable energy projects in the UK

In this paper, a strategic decision making model for the sustainable development of marine renewable energy is proposed, and specific application to United Kingdom (UK) demonstrated. As an island nation UK benefits from significant potential which providing increasing contribution UK's portfolio. The paper investigates question how makers can be aided reach on types projects should chosen given that planning subject number uncertain parameters multiple sustainability objectives. context, lies in combination portfolio selection multi-objective methods. Interval coefficient goal programming models are adopted order address impreciseness uncertainty associated with goals coefficients context selection. clustered aid process preferential weight sensitivity methods employed. Conclusions drawn optimistic pessimistic scenarios planning.
