One of the main objectives in industrial site selection is finding the most appropriate site with desired conditions defined by the selection criteria. This work suggests how to define and classify particular criteria considered for solar PV farm siting.
Site selection for the utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) solar farm is a critical issue due to its direct impact on the power performance, economic, environmental, social aspects, and existing as well as future infrastructures. In this chapter, we conduct a literature review on site selection of solar PV power plants.
Site selection for new PV power plants based on their observability The problem of windfarm location: A social multi-criteria evaluation framework A novel framework for optimal photovoltaic size and location in remote areas using a hybrid method: a case study of eastern Iran Weapon selection using the AHP and TOPSIS methods under fuzzy environment
This aspect need to be considered while selecting the sites for a solar power plant. Most photovoltaic modules work best under 15 to 23 °C of average temperature (Hamou 2014). Suppose the system is desired to be installed in the region where the average temperature is below the threshold. In that case, it will further increase the cost.
We investigate the degree of importance of criteria affecting the site selection of solar PV projects using a decision-making model. In this study, a new model for determining the weight coefficients of the site selection criteria of solar PV projects based on the logarithmic additive assessment of the weight coefficients (LAAW) is proposed.
Proximity to populated areas is considered widely in the literature as a determining factor for the site selection problem for solar PV power plant (Halder et al. 2021). When the solar PV power plant is near populated areas, the energy transmission cost is reduced; however, this may adversely affect the environment.
Thus, photovoltaic power plants site selection is a complex problem of multiple-criteria decision-making. However, most of the previous studies consider less about the subjectivity and vagueness of decision-making information and assume that decision makers are totally rational without considering their psychological factors.
One of the main objectives in industrial site selection is finding the most appropriate site with desired conditions defined by the selection criteria. This work suggests how to define and classify particular criteria considered for solar PV farm siting.
Geographical and climate conditions are diverse and can differ even between sites that are close to each other. High spatial resolution and regularly updated maps are vital for characterizing site-specific conditions and choosing the best candidates for your solar project.
