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

(1): Replacing Equation (6):

$V (S_{1} \geq S_{2}) = hgt (S_{2} \cap S_{1}) = μ_{S_{2}} (d) = {\begin{matrix} 1 m_{1} \geq m_{2} \\ \frac{l_{2} - u_{1}}{(m_{1} - u_{1}) - (m_{2} - u_{2})} m_{1} < m_{2}, m_{1} < l_{2} - u_{1} \\ 0 m_{1} < m_{2}, u_{1} \leq l_{2} \end{matrix}$

with

$V (S_{1} \geq S_{2}) = h g t (S_{1} \cap S_{2}) = μ (d) = {\begin{matrix} 1 & m_{1} \geq m_{2} \\ 0 & l_{2} \geq u_{1} \\ \frac{l_{2} - u_{1}}{(m_{1} - u_{1}) - (m_{2} - l_{2})} & otherwise \end{matrix}$
(2): Replacing the calculation formula in “Section 3.2.2. Calculation of Triangular Fuzzy Number Weighting” on page 15:

$S_{A} = \sum_{j = 1}^{n} M_{i j} \otimes {(\sum_{i = 1}^{n} \sum_{j = 1}^{n} M_{i j})}^{- 1} = (2.2; 2.6; 2.9) \otimes (\frac{1}{6.7}; \frac{1}{8}; \frac{1}{9.3}) = (0.2366; 0.3250, 0.4328) .$

with

$S_{A} = \sum_{j = 1}^{n} M_{i j} \otimes {(\sum_{i = 1}^{n} \sum_{j = 1}^{n} M_{i j})}^{- 1} = (2.2; 2.6; 2.9) \otimes (\frac{1}{9.3}; \frac{1}{8}; \frac{1}{6.7}) = (0.2366; 0.3250, 0.4328) .$
(3): 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.

The standardized data are shown in Table 10.

The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused and state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
