The choice of the energy storage technology involves multiple criteria that need to be simultaneously considered in the energy planning process. The development of sustainable energy system requires to take into account not only technical characteristics of storage technologies but also to pursue sustainability issues. The paper aims to perform not-site-specific sustainability assessment of the main types of energy storage technologies (mechanical, chemical, electrochemical and thermal) based on the developed advanced multi-criteria technique. The paper follows the vein of the coordinated Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) and extends it to the interval environment. A geometric integer programming model is introduced to identify the interval for the degree of coordination. The proposed method is, therefore, able to handle uncertainty and coordinate performance of the alternatives with respect to multiple criteria. Sustainability assessment of energy storage technologies is performed based on the most important technological, economic, environmental and social criteria. The results showed that the most sustainable energy storage technologies are mechanical and thermal ones (utility scores range in between 1 and 0.75). The remaining technologies exhibit utility scores of 0.69 at most. The least appealing options are electrochemical storage technologies.

储能技术的选择涉及多个标准，需要在能源规划过程中同时考虑。可持续能源系统的发展不仅需要考虑储能技术的技术特点，还需要追求可持续性问题。本文旨在基于开发的先进多标准技术对主要类型的储能技术（机械、化学、电化学和热）进行非现场特定的可持续性评估。该论文遵循了与理想解相似的优先顺序协调技术 (TOPSIS) 的脉络，并将其扩展到区间环境。引入几何整数规划模型来确定协调度的区间。因此，所提出的方法是 能够处理不确定性并根据多个标准协调替代方案的性能。储能技术的可持续性评估是根据最重要的技术、经济、环境和社会标准进行的。结果表明，最具可持续性的储能技术是机械和热能技术（效用得分在 1 到 0.75 之间）。其余技术的效用得分最多为 0.69。最不吸引人的选择是电化学存储技术。结果表明，最具可持续性的储能技术是机械和热能技术（效用得分在 1 到 0.75 之间）。其余技术的效用得分最多为 0.69。最不吸引人的选择是电化学存储技术。结果表明，最具可持续性的储能技术是机械和热能技术（效用得分在 1 到 0.75 之间）。其余技术的效用得分最多为 0.69。最不吸引人的选择是电化学存储技术。
