Project Management Model for Constructing a Renewable Energy Plant

A project management model is developed for constructing a renewable energy plant in this research. Program evaluation and review technique (PERT) is applied first to find the critical activities when constructing the plant and to calculate the total project cost and total duration time for the project under normal condition. When some activities are crashed, the total duration time can be reduced. The total project cost and the total duration time for crashing various activities are calculated. The fuzzy PERT model is developed by the fuzzy multiple objective linear programming, and the model can devise the project implementation plan to maximize the total degree of satisfaction while minimizing total project cost and total duration time. A case study of a wind turbine construction in Taiwan is presented to show the practicality of the proposed models.
