Abstract:

This paper presents an application of Multiple Attribute Utility Theory on strategic choices concerning energy transportation. The environmental assessment of a network reinforcement strategy is emphasized. Our assessment brings about to consider multidimensional variables in MCDM. However, Multi-Attributed Utility Theory (MAUT) cannot, as a practical matter, manage such variables. We therefore work out a methodology to transform multidimensional variables into unidimensional ones. We apply it then to a pratical case. From the application, we draw some conclusions on Multi-Attributed Utility Theory and on its interest for strategic choices dealing with environmental consequences.

Résumé:

Cet article présente une application de la théorie de l'utilité multiattribut aux choix strategiques dans le transport d'énergie. L'accent est mis sur l'évaluation d'une stratégie de renforcement de réseau du point de vue de ses aspects environnementaux. L'évaluation proposée conduit a considérer dans l'analyse multicritère des variables multidimensionnelles. Or, la methode de l'utilité multiattribut ne peut pas, en pratique, gérer de telles variables. Nous proposons donc une méthode de conversion de variables multidimensionnelles en variables unidimensionnelles et nous l'appliquons ensuite au cas étudié. À l'issue de cette application, nous tirons quelques conclusions sur l'utilité multiattribut et sur son intérêt pour les choix strategiques mettant en cause l'environnement.

Keywords: Multicriteria decision, environment, risk, multi-attributed utility theory, energy transportation.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link containsarticle metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means:

• if your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages,
• you can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library,
• you can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
