A Three-level Sustainability Evaluation Framework for Electric Energy Substitution Project

Abstract

By establishing sustainability evaluation framework suitable for electric energy substitute project, combining technical & economic analysis methods and analytic hierarchy process, the sustainability of electric energy substitute project could be quantified and measured. The sustainability of the electric energy substitute project is analyzed, and then the key factors that affect the sustainability of the electric energy substitute project is found out. Based on this, a three-level sustainability evaluation framework including 12 indicators is established and the analytic hierarchy process is adopted to calculate the weight of sustainability evaluation index of electric energy substitute project. Our proposed framework can be applied to quantitatively evaluate the sustainability of electrical energy substitution projects.
