10. Research limitations and scope for future work
This work also has some limitations. In this study, a fuzzy AHP based structural model has been suggested with five dimensions and 25 indicators in order to assess sustainability in energy planning and management. Other indicators have not been documented and classified. The study findings are based on expert’s opinion, therefore, the evaluation procedure need to be carried out carefully.
Different multi-criteria decision making models may be applied to the same problem and results can be compared in further studies. A real life case example may be conducted to validate this research work. Additionally, various energy generation technologies may be added as alternatives and can be analyzed for future perspectives.
