Junseong Lee · New & Renewable Energy · 2016
Smart grid is regarded as the representative of new energy industries in Korea because it has the potential to transform the entire conventional power industry to a new industry, applying ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) into the power grids. There are several factors that affect the transfer and commercialization of smart grids technologies and it is important to find where to place more priority with limited resources. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) has been widely used around the world to provide comprehensive and rational solutions in a wide variety of decision situations. As it is based on the group decision making, it is not taken as a correct decision, but the best decision. This study is believed to come up with the best decision framework through an AHP application regarding comparison among a wide variety of commercialization factors of smart grids technologies.
