The decision on the location of a straw-based power generation plant has a great influence on the plant’s operation and performance. This study explores traditional theories for site selection. Using integer programming, the study optimizes the economic and carbon emission outcomes of straw-based power generation as two objectives, with the supply and demand of straw as constraints. It provides...

The concept of site selection has received extensive attention throughout history. Although plant location decision issues have always been important to US manufacturing firms, the impact of global competition has increased recognition of their importance. To successfully compete globally, manufacturers must have an effective global supply chain infrastructure, which requires effective communic...

one of the main principles of the passive defense is the principle of site selection. in this paper, we propose a multiple objective nonlinear programming model that considers the principle of the site selection in terms of two qualitative and quantitative aspects. the purpose of the proposed model is selection of the place of key production facilities of a system in which not only it observes ...

behaviour of the dilution characteristics of the coastal waters off tuticorin is presented in thebackground of setting up of a desalination plant. simulations of dispersion and spreading of the proposeddischarges has been carried out. scenarios of dilutions were assessed based on the results of a 2d model using the advection-dispersion theory. it is observed that under prevailing currents in th...

this paper presents the criteria and applied methods in the screening of potential sites for the wastewater treatment plant of the falavarjan district, northwest of esfahan province. for this the nine parameters that were selected as main criteria, 7 parameters were considered to define the buffer zones in the natural and artificial terrains. at the first stage of the study, unsuitable zones we...

Spatial problems are often characterised by incomplete information, multiple conflicting evaluation criteria and a heterogeneous group of decision-makers. Implementation of existing analytical decision–making methods in a Spatial Decision Support System has been characterised by difficulties when dealing with uncertainty, criteria standardization, and group decision-making where there is no con...

environmental factors are one of the most sensitive issues that should be considered in many decisions. site selection is one of the most widely used spatial decision making problems and is influenced by many environmental factors. the purpose of site selection is to find a set of appropriate spatial alternatives for a particular application. site selection is a multi-criteria decision making p...
