Abstract
Nowadays, an eco-friendly way to satisfy the high-energy demand is by the exploitation of renewable sources. Wind energy is one of the viable sustainable sources. In particular, small-scale wind turbines are an attractive option for meeting the high demand for domestic energy consumption since exclude the installation problems of large-scale wind farms. However, appropriate wind resource, installation costs, and other factors must be taken into consideration as well. Therefore, a feasibility study for the setting up of this technology is required beforehand. This requires a decision-making problem involving complex conditions and a degree of uncertainty. It turns out that Bayesian Decision Networks are a suitable paradigm to deal with this task. In this work, we present the development of a decision-making method, built with Decision Bayesian Networks, to assess the use of small-scale wind turbines to meet the high-energy demand considering the available wind resource, installation costs, reduction in CO2 emissions and the achieved savings.
