Correction: Niu et al. Prioritization of Renewable Energy Alternatives for China by Using a Hybrid FMCDM Methodology with Uncertain Information. Sustainability 2020, 12, 4649

The authors would like to make the following corrections to the published paper [1]. The changes are as follows:

(1)

Replacing Equation (6):

$$V(S_1\ge S_2)=\mathrm{hgt}(S_2\cap S_1)={\mu }_{S_2}(d)=\{\begin{array}{c}1m_1\ge m_2\\ \frac{l_2-u_1}{(m_1-u_1)-(m_2-u_2)}{m}_1<m_2,m_1<l_2-u_1\\ 0m_1<m_2,u_1\le l_2\end{array}$$

with

$$V(S_1\ge S_2)=hgt(S_1\cap S_2)=\mu (d)=\{\begin{array}{cc}1& m_1\ge m_2\\ 0& l_2\ge u_1\\ \frac{l_2-u_1}{(m_1-u_1)-(m_2-l_2)}& \mathit{otherwise}\end{array}$$

Replacing the calculation formula in “Section 3.2.2. Calculation of Triangular Fuzzy Number Weighting” on page 15:

$$S_A={\displaystyle \sum _{j=1}^n{M}_{ij}}\otimes {\left({\displaystyle \sum _{i=1}^n{\displaystyle \sum _{j=1}^n{M}_{ij}}}\right)}^{-1}=(2.2;2.6;2.9)\otimes (\frac{1}{6.7};\frac{1}{8};\frac{1}{9.3})=(0.2366;0.3250,0.4328).$$

with

$$S_A={\displaystyle \sum _{j=1}^n{M}_{ij}}\otimes {\left({\displaystyle \sum _{i=1}^n{\displaystyle \sum _{j=1}^n{M}_{ij}}}\right)}^{-1}=(2.2;2.6;2.9)\otimes (\frac{1}{9.3};\frac{1}{8};\frac{1}{6.7})=(0.2366;0.3250,0.4328).$$

Replacing the fourth paragraph of “Section 3.3. Prioritization of Renewable Energy Alternatives in China” on page 17:

where F_A refers to the maximization index and F_B refers to the minimization index. For example, the largest of potential total power generation (A₁) is 247000TWh/y, A₁ ∈ F_A, and the A₁ score of Solar PV is (575/247000, 2876/247000), which is (0.01, 0.03). The standardized data are shown in Table 10.
