Methodology
The information involved in the decision process for installation of a hydro system is illustrated below:
Fig. 1 The decision model linking disciplines
Each component requires expertise from an individual discipline, often with input from several different disciplines. The individual components are described below:
It is envisaged the user will progress round the loop several times, resulting in a multi level sequential decision making process (Fig. 2); questioning the strength and confidence at the end of each loop. This process allows refinement of questioning in order to obtain a higher level of sophistication and accuracy in the answers, and permits the user to short circuit the loop where applicable in order to move their individual project forward. The SDM process is designed to develop a generic and fundamental understanding of the barriers to the deployment of hydro electric schemes in North-West England.
