Proper and improper uses of MCDA methods in energy systems analysis

作者:

Highlights:

• Our question: Was the chosen MCDA method the best fit for a case study?

• We used a new DSS to answer this question using energy systems analysis literature.

• We found a large share (about 60%) of improper uses of MCDA methods.

• This new DSS avoids the suboptimal selection of MCDA methods.

• Scholars and practitioners can now contribute to the next versions of our DSS.
