A Sustainable Energy Management Evaluation and Decision-Making Framework of Hybrid Solar Geyser-Stove System in Domestic Buildings /

Abstract

In an era characterized by mounting environmental concerns and growing demand for sustainable energy solutions, hybrid solar geyser and stove systems have emerged as promising innovations. This research employs a sustainable performance framework for energy management with Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) techniques comprehensively to evaluate hybrid solar geyser and stove systems within the domestic building sector focusing on assessing these hybrid solutions. The evaluations have been carried out across techno-economic and environmental performance for water heating and cooking. The hardware setup includes the integration of solar panels, storage batteries, and heating elements to harness solar energy for cooking and water heating. The MCDM techniques provide a robust framework for decision-making by incorporating multiple criteria such as cost-effectiveness, energy efficiency, environmental sustainability, and user comfort. The analysis spans domestic settings, offering insights into the effectiveness and viability of these hybrid technologies. The outcomes of the framework analysis contribute valuable information for stakeholders, policymakers, and businesses seeking to make informed choices in adopting sustainable solutions. Policy and regulatory implications are thoroughly examined, providing valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders seeking to promote sustainable energy practices. Furthermore, incorporating the Internet of Things (IoT) system for controlling solar geysers and stove systems through mobile applications presents a promising avenue for enhancing system functionality and user experience.
