What is PIPRECIA

The use of fossil fuels has decreased compared to the past due to the gradual depletion of fossil fuels and the greenhouse gases emerging in their use. As a result of this decrease, many countries have turned to alternative energy sources instead of fossil fuels. The most popular energy sources among these alternatives are renewable energy sources. Compared to fossil fuels, renewable energy sources cause little or no harm to nature. While renewable energy sources differ according to the countries, it is necessary to determine the most optimal renewable energy source for countries. In the literature, the most optimal renewable energy source selection has been made many times, and while this selection is made, multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods are generally used. In these studies, the most optimal renewable energy source was selected by considering multiple criteria. In this chapter, criteria that are frequently used in the literature will be evaluated with the Plithogenic PIPRECIA method. In addition, the most important criterion will be determined.
