Abstract: This paper presents the application of multi-criterion approach to the analysis and comparison of reference alternatives of wind power park information system (WPPIS) which complies with the standard IEC 61400-25. The comparison is based on multi-criterion preferences measured in domination rate (index). The reference alternatives include centralized, mixed and seamless communication topologies. The major features of these alternatives are discussed as well as the multi-criterion methodology applied covering pair comparison, Pareto sets and fuzzy sets methods. The current investigation described is an extension of the preceding investigation of the same reference alternatives of WPPIS. As we have showed, the transition from the concerted experts view as it was a case in previous investigation to the conflicting expert views in the current investigation proved the high robustness of solution made for the case of concerted expert views: the rank of preferences for alternatives remained the same, with seamless communication topology on the top the rank.
