Abstract

This paper presents an approach for designing power and water distribution networks involving the sizing, geographic location, as well as the economic, environmental and social impacts, and taking into account the multiplicity of criteria for the stakeholders involved in the development of operational policies and new facilities. In this paper is presented a method for defining solutions concerning to the design of power and water distribution networks based on a multi-stakeholder environment. A multi-objective model, considering economic, environmental and social factors, is used for illustrating how the different criteria, about priorities of the stakeholders, affect the design of the system and how to propose a solution for achieving a tradeoff between the multiple stakeholders. The proposed method was applied to an electric and water stressed scheme in the north of Mexico, the results show that the minimization of the dissatisfaction of the involved systems can provide an optimal solution that meets the objectives of all stakeholders.
