An application of the analytic hierarchy process to the electric power generation mix

AHP를 이용한 전력공급원 구성비율 설정에 관한 연구

This article describes an alternative approach for determining Korea's optimal power generation mix through an Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP). Five criteria, strategic, economic, technological, environmental, and socio-political criterion, are considered simultaneously, as opposed to the traditional emphasis on economic criterion only. The electric power sources examined here included nuclear power, coal-fired power, and LNG fired power.
