ABSTRACT:
An activity within the Solar Thermal Power Systems Project of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory is the design and analysis of selected technologies. Multiattribute decision analysis is a general methodology appropriate for evaluating and ranking alternative solar thermal electric power
Fourteen interviews with knowledgeable energy system representatives were conducted in 1979 to assess their preferences for attributes of small solar thermal electric power systems. Because only one interview, of less than three hours in duration, was possible with each person, it was necessary to abbreviate parts of the multiattribute decision analysis methodology. The Report concludes that, with some further modification, it is feasible to apply this methodology to the evaluation and ranking of small solar thermal electric power systems.

systems. This Report describes a demonstration of the Keeney and Raiffa formulation of multiattribute decision analysis as applied to a number of alternative small (1 to 10 MWe) solar thermal electric power systems. This Report considers the feasibility of the methodology, rather than the ranking of alternative solar thermal electric power systems, because only preliminary system data was available at the time the study was undertaken.Fourteen interviews with knowledgeable energy system representatives were conducted in 1979 to assess their preferences for attributes of small solar thermal electric power systems. Because only one interview, of less than three hours in duration, was possible with each person, it was necessary to abbreviate parts of the multiattribute decision analysis methodology. The Report concludes that, with some further modification, it is feasible to apply this methodology to the evaluation and ranking of small solar thermal electric power systems.
