This Brief presents the multi criteria decision making (MCDM)
techniques like Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and
Fuzzy Analytical Network Process (ANP) to find out the importance
of the influencing factors to develop the Climatic Vulnerability
Index (CVI) that will represent the vulnerability of the
Hydro-Power Plant (HPP) to climatic abnormalities. The cognitive
ability of neuro-genetic modeling is applied to minimize CVI so
that the conditions required to reduce the effect of climate
change on HPP can be identified. The results from the study are
found to be encouraging. The scarcity and pollution potential of
conventional sources of energy has enforced scientists worldwide
to look for efficient, flexible, cost effective but reliable
alternative energy resources. Among many available options the
energy extracted from water was found to be the least expensive,
most flexible and moderately reliable renewable energy source
which has the potential to replace the dependency on conventional
fuels.
