Neutrosophic recommendation model to predict clean energy production as a competitive advantage in Ecuador

Abstract

Energy is a fundamental element for the development and functioning of today's societies. At present, energy production is accentuated in most countries, a visible aspect just by accessing energy supply and consumption statistics. In Ecuador, energy production and consumption is growing substantially. However, the production of clean energy is still negligible. In this regard, it is perceived that there is consensus on the use of clean energy as a competitive advantage for the country, but its production is insufficient since it is more expensive in terms of its initial investment. The use of clean energy is favorable, predicting its produc-tion is vital, because clean energy does not generate waste or emit gases derived from its use, so this type of energy becomes competitive with other renewable sources. For this reason, the objective of this work is to predict the production of clean energy as a competitive advantage in Ecuador. To do so, a neutral recommendation model is used, which favors the interpretation of the existing qualitative data on clean energy production in Ecuador, in order to make the predictions with less uncertainty.
