Chapter 18 in Multi-Criteria Decision Making with Partial Preference Information, 2026, pp 397-411 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In the context of strategic energy planning, one of the critical challenges is to assess the readiness of emerging and existing technologies for power generation. This task involves evaluating diverse technological alternatives across multiple, often conflicting, criteria such as technical maturity, economic viability, and environmental impact. However, decision makers (DMs) normally face imprecise or incomplete information, especially regarding the relative importance of these criteria. In that perspective, this chapter presents a multicriteria decision model for prioritizing critical technologies for power generation in the energy sector (Morais et al. 2015). The model applies PROMETHEE ROC, which integrates surrogate weights and the PROMETHEE II method, thereby enabling the weighting process to be more flexible. The study was conducted in response to a request from CGEE (Centro de Gestão e Estudos Estratégicos, or the Center for Management and Strategic Studies), an institution that supports decision-making processesDecision-making process related to science, technology, and innovation through strategic assessments and expert collaboration within Brazil’s national innovation system.
