Abstract
This chapter reports on a simulated decision aiding process aiming at choosing a cooling system for a new power plant. The study took place in a research contract between MathRO, the Mathematics and Operations Research unit at UMONS, and Laborelec, a technical competence centre of the Belgian power industry. The goal of the contract was to show whether and how multiple criteria decision methods could help taking the environmental and societal aspects of technical choices into account in a relevant way. In this perspective, the case of the choice of a cooling system for the Saint-Ghislain power plant was conceived as a validation exercise.
