Abstract
There are literally thousands of MCDM applications in a very wide range of fields.1 In energy planning and policy alone, applications number in the hundreds. A complete review of this literature would be both tedious and necessarily superficial. Rather, we review a representative sample of MCDM applications to a range of energy operations, planning and policy problems. In each problem area we review one or two applications in some detail, with briefer references to other examples; the primary emphasis in this review is to examine how these applications have adhered to the principles set forth in Chapters 2 to 5.
Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good exampleMARK TWAIN, Puddn’head Wilson (1894)
