Abstract

Nowadays, wind power stations play a significant role in eco-friendly energy production by efficiently harnessing wind energy to produce electricity. A crucial factor in constructing a wind power station is the site selection process, which identifies ideal locations for wind turbines to optimize energy generation, minimize costs, and reduce environmental impact. This complex decision-making involves multipolar attributes, including technical and environmental categories. An m-polar fuzzy (mP F) set model is an effective tool for addressing such uncertain problems involving multi-dimensional parameters. The main goal of this study is to integrate Schweizer-Sklar operations with mP F information to determine the aggregated results in a more generalized environment. We develop some novel mP F-geometric and mP F-averaging aggregation operators (A gOs), including the mP F Schweizer-Sklar weighted averaging (mP FSSWA), mP F Schweizer-Sklar ordered weighted averaging (mP FSSOWA), mP F Schweizer-Sklar hybrid averaging (mP FSSHA), mP F Schweizer-Sklar weighted geometric (mP FSSWG), mP F Schweizer-Sklar ordered weighted geometric (mP FSSOWG), and mP F Schweizer-Sklar hybrid geometric (mP FSSHG) operators. We support these A gOs by presenting numerical examples and some fundamental properties, like monotonicity, boundedness, idempotency, and commutativity. Further, we propose an algorithm for both mP FSSWA and mP FSSWG operators to minimize uncertainty in various MCDM problems. Next, we investigate a case study of Sindh province in Pakistan (i.e., choosing the best site for a wind power station) by implementing the suggested algorithm. Finally, we compare the developed mP F Schweizer-Sklar A gOs with the preexisting mP F-Yagar, mP F-Dombi, mP F-Aczel-Alsina A gOs, mP F-AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process), mP F-TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution), and mP F-ELECTRE-I (ELimination and Choice Expressing REality)-I methods.
