Sustainable energy sources cannot run out and can be used for an indefinite period of time. In addition to meeting our energy needs, sustainable energy does not need to be renewed or replenished, nor does it pose any threat of being wrong or running out. Our energy demands can only be met by renewable energy. The bestworst methodand technique for order preference by similarities to ideal solution-I processes have proposed a hybrid model named the bestworst method\u2014technique for order preference by similarities to ideal solution-I, for this purpose. This study uses comparative analysis and sensitivity analysis to determine the results of the proposed study.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/axioms12020159","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,3]],"date-time":"2023-02-03T04:21:43Z","timestamp":1675398103000},"page":"159","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["An Integrated BWM-TOPSIS-I Approach to Determine the Ranking of Alternatives and Application of Sustainability Analysis of Renewable Energy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7103-8872","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ahmad","family":"Alshamrani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Statistics & Operations Research Department, College of Sciences, King Saud University, Riyadh 11451, Saudi Arabia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0699-3317","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Priyanka","family":"Majumder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Basic Science and Humanities (Mathematics), Techno College of Engineering Agartala, Madhuban 799004, India"}]},{"given":"Amrit","family":"Das","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, School of Advanced Sciences, Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), Vellore 632014, India"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2747-6722","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ibrahim M.","family":"Hezam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Statistics & Operations Research Department, College of Sciences, King Saud University, Riyadh 11451, Saudi Arabia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9657-0889","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Darko","family":"Bo\u017eani\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Military Academy, University of Defence in Belgarde, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3189","DOI":"10.1016\/j.egyr.2021.05.042","article-title":"A time of use tariff scheme for demand side management of residential energy consumers in Bangladesh","volume":"7","author":"Rahman","year":"2021","journal-title":"Energy Rep."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"959","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rser.2018.05.060","article-title":"Estimation of renewable energy and built environment-related variables using neural networks\u2014A review","volume":"94","author":"Rodrigues","year":"2018","journal-title":"Renew.
