Wind Farm Site Selection. Normally around 100 sites are selected with flexibility to enable the developer to make decisions as the project progresses. Properly designed decision-making support tools should provide information regarding economic. Site Selection Process Wind power classes 3-7 suitable for utility wind exclude areas with wind class 1-2 Exclude conservation lands Exclude counties with population density 500 Select areas within 5 miles of roads Select areas within 10 miles of transmission lines. The wind farm site selection tool presented in this paper provides insights into the most feasible sites for a large geographic area based on user inputs and can assist the planning of wind developers utilities ISOs and State governments in attaining renewable portfolio standards.
Second fuzzy analytic hierarchy process is applied to determine criteria weights. Using long-term is data therefore critical. At this point its not only about software and data sets. The crucial factor in siting a wind farm also called wind park or wind plant is the annual energy production and how the value of the energy produced compares to other sources of energy. It is the best accomplished by listing the criterion affecting the environment economics and viability of wind energy output over production time. The selection of the site is the most important decision in the development of an offshore wind farm.
Several criteria have been identified to reflect the interest of three stakeholders.
Second fuzzy analytic hierarchy process is applied to determine criteria weights. Atici et al. Criteria of equal importance were investigated including technical environmental economic and geographic standards. Data should be collected at a potential site for 23 years after which other questions arise. Using long-term is data therefore critical. The multiple criteria decision making method and site selection criterion for wind resources assessment is explained and developed for the study area.
