Abstract :
There is a need to improve the procedures for ranking reconditioning projects in hydropower plants to optimize the allocation of resources, and a concept for decision support based on value focused thinking and multi attribute decision making is developed. This paper suggests an integration of multi attribute decision making and knowledge based support to realize the concept. The two disciplines have different qualities and they can contribute at different stages of the decision process
