Abstract
Traditional electricity networks are replaced by smart grids to increase efficiency at a low cost. Several energy projects in Pakistan have been developed, while others are currently in the planning stages. To assess the performance of the smart grids in Pakistan, this article employs a multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) strategy based on power Maclaurin symmetric mean (PMSM) operators. We proposed a T-spherical fuzzy (TSF) power MSM (TSFPMSM), and a weighted TSFPMSM (WTSFPMSM) operator. The proposed work aims to analyze the problem involving smart grids in an uncertain environment by covering four aspects of uncertain information. The idempotency, boundedness, and monotonicity features of the proposed TSFPMSM are investigated. In order to assess Pakistan’s smart grid networks based on the suggested TSFPMSM operators, a MAGDM algorithm has been developed. The sensitivity analysis of the proposed numerical example is analyzed based on observing the reaction of the variation of the sensitive parameters, followed by a comprehensive comparative study. The comparison results show the superiority of the proposed approach.
