Energy costs are the key factors regarding selection of appropriate renewable energy (RWG) alternatives. All a power plant, such as investment, operation, maintenance, and repair considered in scope levelized costs. Therefore, for effective determination selling price energy, cost has guiding role. Because RWG alternatives develop sustainable production consumption long term, leading indicators these should be analyzed significantly. Accordingly, this study, it is aimed to investigate by using bipolar q-rung orthopair fuzzy (q-ROF) hybrid decision-making approach. The novelty study recommend an integrated model based on q-ROFSs with golden cut. At first stage, q-ROF multi stepwise weight assessment ratio analysis (M-SWARA) employed weighting selected criteria following technique order preference similarity ideal solution (TOPSIS) rank terms performance. On other side, vise kriterijumska optimizacija i kompromisno resenje (VIKOR) also In addition issue, sensitivity performed four cases comparatively. Hence, consistency, reliability coherency proposed can measured. It identified that capacity loss greatest importance projects.

Carbon neutrality policies are of great importance for the transportation sector. Thus, some issues need to be taken into consideration increase effectiveness carbon in this However, biggest disadvantage these improvements is that they costs. Instead improving a large number factors, it more financially feasible take action on ones important. Nevertheless, there limited studies which priority analysis made factors affecting process. Therefore, main missing part literature new study should weights variables determined. The purpose evaluate industry with novel decision-making model. First, selected indicators evaluated by quantum picture fuzzy row sets-based multi-step wise weight assessment ratio (M-SWARA) technique. Secondly, alternatives ranked. For purpose, multi-objective optimization basis (MOORA) methodology considered sets. motivation making and comprehensive reason behind situation most existing models could not consider causal directions among indicators. Due situation, proposed model created using causality relationships between industry. contribution integrating theory rough This has positive make sensitive evaluations. Additionally, approach criteria so relationship determinants can findings demonstrate infrastructure development important factor effective Cost another critical indicator respect. On other hand, according ranking results, determined reducing traditional fuels zero-carbon essential alternative transportation. It would appropriate companies attach use electric vehicles. In context, government incentives vehicles offered. example, tax reduction may as will provide significant cost advantage.
