Abstract

Waste management carries out because every day, the waste produced is continuously increasing, so the concept of converting waste into energy is needed or commonly called Waste to Energy (WTE). The development of a WTE-based Electric Power Generator is one way to manage waste to be converted into valuable energy properly. In this study, we attempt to analyze the designed financial model of a WTE-based Electric Power Generator using the working principle of Landfill Gas when it builds as a source of electrical energy for the Universitas Indonesia. The decision-making process mainly influences the designed financial model. Hence, several famous MCDM methods have been used, but most of them still based on subjective decisions rather than objective decisions. The SIMUS is a MCDM method which produce a strongly objective decision rather than subjective. In this study, researchers used the SIMUS to determine the scenario needed to build Waste-to-Energy (WTE) facilities in Universitas Indonesia and also the location where the facility feasible to build. At the end of the research, the financial model analysis showed the optimal scenario of the power plant and the proper location to construct, based on criteria from the model.
