Due to industrial development, expansion of communities, and attention to sustainable development, sustainable energy supply has become a big challenge for communities. In this regard, the development and use of Renewable Energy (RE) are considered due to reducing the harmful environmental effects of fossil fuels. Improving the efficiency of the Renewable Energy Supply Chain (RESC) is important for using RE. To improve the performance and efficiency of RESC, it is necessary to use emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and its integration with the principles of the Circular Economy (CE). Therefore, this study proposes integrating IoT and CE for sustainable development and resource management in RESC. Also, this research provides a hybrid decision framework to assess the challenges of IoT and CE in the RESC of Iran. The CRiteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC) technique is used to specify the importance of the criteria. The Fuzzy Evaluation Based on Distance from Average Solution (FEDAS) technique ranks the challenges. The findings indicated that considering the cost of investment, the rate of return on investment, and the productivity rate were the most important sub-criteria with values of 0.149, 0.129, and 0.106 respectively. Then, the sensitivity of the results is examined and the validation of the findings is analyzed with decision-making methods. The results indicate the high priority of the challenge related to transparency in the implementation procedures of IoT and RE projects and information dissemination protocols, the development of guidelines for the integration of IoT in other systems in the information network, and the amount of investment and lack of access to financial resources. This study provided practical insights for RE development based on IoT and CE capabilities for energy planning.
由于工业发展、社区扩张以及对可持续发展的关注，可持续能源供应已成为社区面临的一大挑战。在这方面，开发和利用可再生能源（RE）被认为可以减少化石燃料对环境的有害影响。提高可再生能源供应链（RESC）的效率对于利用可再生能源至关重要。为了提高 RESC 的性能和效率，需要利用物联网（IoT）等新兴技术及其与循环经济（CE）原则的融合。因此，本研究提出将物联网和 CE 整合到 RESC 中，以实现可持续发展和资源管理。此外，本研究还提供了一个混合决策框架，以评估物联网和 CE 在伊朗 RESC 中的挑战。CRiteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation（CRITIC）技术用于指定标准的重要性。基于距离平均解的模糊评价（FEDAS）技术对挑战进行排名。研究结果表明，考虑投资成本、投资回报率和生产率，是最重要的子标准，其值分别为 0.149、0.129 和 0.106。然后，对结果的敏感性进行了检验，并使用决策方法对研究结果进行了验证。结果表明，物联网和 RE 项目实施程序透明度、物联网在信息网络中其他系统集成指南以及投资金额和缺乏财务资源方面的信息传播协议等相关挑战具有较高的优先级。本研究为基于物联网和 CE 能力的可再生能源发展提供了实际见解，有助于能源规划。
