Abstract

The aim of the proposed paper consists in defining an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) able to integrate different classes of indicators (selection criteria) in order to assess the sustainability of five basic energy systems. The criteria (market, performance, environmental and social indicators) are located at the second level of hierarchy tree proposed and they are decomposed in specific sub-indicators which represent the sub-criteria situated at the third level. At the bottom of the tree appear the five alternatives selected and compared: phosphoric acid fuel cells (PAFC), solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), natural gas turbine (GT), photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy systems (WE). Reference data used to perform the evaluation procedure have been collected and integrated from current technical and scientific literature. A sensitivity analysis allows the evaluation of different scenarios by changing, step by step, the relative perceptual importance of criteria and sub-criteria.
