Abstract: Chinese population is numerous. Energy resources are limited. The ownership of per capita resource is far lower than the world average level. China is in the process of industrialization and urbanization, but energy resources are consumed and environmental pollution is serious. The energy crisis and environmental protection has restricted our country economy development and social harmony. As a source of energy consumption and environmental pollution, power industry is one of the important fields of energy saving and emission reduction. The reasonable power dispatch is the breakthrough to reduce the energy consumption and environmental pollution. In this paper, we first introduce some operations on interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets, such as Heronian mean (HM) operator and Dombi operations, etc., and further develop the induced interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy Dombi weighted Heronian mean (I-IVIFDWHM) operator. We also establish some desirable properties of this operator, such as commutativity, idempotency and monotonicity. Then, we apply the I-IVIFDWHM operator to deal with the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems. Finally, an illustrative example for evaluating the energy-saving and economic operation of power systems is given to verify the developed approach.
