Abstract

The Vietnamese government has decided to use and promote the development of more renewable energy sources, particularly wind energy. When implementing a wind energy project, choosing a wind turbine supplier is an important decision and investors must find the optimal supplier through evaluating many qualitative and quantitative criteria that affect each other symmetrically. Therefore, the process used for selecting a wind turbine supplier in wind power projects is a multi-criteria decision-making process. Many approaches have been applied for this decision process, some of which are based on multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) methods, whether applied individually or in combination with other MCDM models. In this study, the researchers proposed a decision-making model based on spherical fuzzy sets for wind turbine supplier selection in wind power energy projects. In this paper, Vietnam is used as a case study. The recommended turbine suppliers for installations can finally be generated after the calculations in the final stage of this research. The contribution of this research is developing a fuzzy MCDM model for suitable turbine suppliers in wind power energy projects. The results of this study can be used as references for experts in deciding on a suitable wind turbine supplier in other countries as well as in other renewable energy projects.
