Waste-To-Energy Solutions That Is Technically and Economically Feasible for Investment in India A MOORA Technique Based on MCDM Method Strategy

Abstract

In the Vellore District of Tamil Nadu State, Due to the unprofitable nature of phase extension in isolated rural areas, small-scale power generation has recently come to be recognized as a viable option for energy access. It might be possible to develop an Integrated Renewable Energy System to meet the hamlets' energy and culinary requirements. Techno-Economic Research on This article conducts Technologies for converting waste into energy (WtE) has been acknowl-edged as one solution to India's persistent problem with unannounced power outages and load shedding. Research signifi-cance: Which of the four potential WtE technologies—pyrolysis, gasification, plasma arc gasification, and anaerobic di-gestion—will have the highest techno-economic return on investment? MCDA, or multi-criteria decision analysis, is em-ployed in the current study. Methodology: The four solutions were assessed using 10 chosen techno-economic criteria by five academic and business professionals. After pyrolysis and plasma arc gasification, gasification, according to the avail-able statistics, commonly known as anaerobic digestion, is the third most investable WtE technology in India. The annual energy production and initial investment are, respectively, the most important technical and economic factors. Results: Based on MOORA set theory, some multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) paradigm is suggested in this paper. Alter-native methods include pyrolysis, gasification, plasma arc gasification, and anaerobic digestion. The following criteria are used for evaluation: net present value, internal rate of return, transformative capacity, generational capacity, annual energy generation, initial investment, operations, and maintenance, balanced energy expenditure, repayment duration, and cost of electricity. As a result, the Gasification is in 1st rank and anaerobic digestion is last rank. Conclusion: The results of sensi-tivity analysis are more robust, Showing stability and consistency. According to the present analysis, anaerobic digestion and gasification should be integrated rather than used separately, because it balances well as a WtE technology. The results of this study will help potential WtE technology investors in India make decisions.
