The purpose of this study is selecting the suitable turbine set for operating the 1,200 MW hydro powerplant at Chulabhorn Dam in Thailand to balance the system. This paper uses Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) technology by combining fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process method (AHP) for weighting criteria and fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution method (TOPSIS) for prioritizing decision. Six criteria are involved: efficiency and flexibility generation mode, efficiency and flexibility pumped mode, cost, and installation space. There are ten alternatives integrated between three turbines including fixed speed turbine (fi), variable speed turbine by Doubly fed induction machines (df), and variable speed turbine by Full Size Frequency Converter (fs) to power the 1,200 MW generator. As a result, the suitable turbine set in the plant is three of variable speed turbines by Full Size Frequency Converter (fs3) because of its greatest distance from FNIS. Furthermore, this study shows the capability form mixing variety turbine in plant more effective than using the only type of turbine in a plant.
