Zusammenfassung:Offshore wind power has been an important force to promote energy transformation. To build an advanced offshore wind farm, wind turbine selection requires the decision maker to explore new relevant criteria and evaluate alternatives with respect to decision criteria with assigning importance weightings to the criteria. In this paper, we devise a novel hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach for offshore wind turbine selection by reconstructing analytic network process (ANP) and entropy-weight method (EWM). Based on the assigned weightings for ANP and EWM, the best alternative can be selected. For the decision-making model, five main criteria are specifically subdivided into 22 sub-criteria. The method is then applied to deal with the quantitative and qualitative inputs and the interrelation of criteria as arising from decision-making process. The results show that the proposed method can effectively select the optimal one from four different types of alternative offshore wind turbines.
