چکیده:
انرژی از نیازهای اصلی بشر و موتور محرک توسعه اقتصادی است. منابع انرژی سنتی محدود و آلاینده هستند و این موضوع دولت ها را خواهان جایگزینی انرژی های تجدیدپذیر به جای منابع انرژی سنتی کرده است. یکی از منابع انرژی های تجدیدپذیر انرژی خورشیدی است که برای استفاده از آن از فناوری سلول های خورشیدی استفاده می کنند. در ایران، اراده قوی سیاسی برای توسعه منابع انرژی تجدیدپذیر وجود دارد، اما یکی مهم ترین موضوعات در این باره یافتن مکان بهینه برای استقرار صفحات خورشیدی است. در پژوهش حاضر، با استفاده از سیستم اطلاعات جغرافیایی و تکنیک Fuzzy AHP که یکی از روش های تصمیم گیری چندمعیاره است، مکان های مناسب برای استقرار نیروگاه خورشیدی در استان آذربایجان شرقی شناسایی شده است. براساس نتایج این پژوهش، ۶۰/۶ درصد از اراضی استان از تناسب عالی، ۳۱/۱۸ درصد از تناسب خوب و ۱۰/۲۷ درصد از تناسب متوسط برای نصب نیروگاه خورشیدی برخوردارند، اما ۹۹/۴۷ درصد اراضی استان مطلوبیت لازم را برای نصب نیروگاه خورشیدی ندارند. در حالت کلی مناطق غربی و جنوب غربی استان بیشترین تناسب و مناطق شمالی و شمال شرقی استان کمترین تناسب را از دیگر مناطق برای نصب نیروگاه خورشیدی دارند. همچنین تحلیل حساسیت وزن های به دست آمده از روش Fuzzy AHP نشان می دهد معیارهای GHI و PVOUT اهمیت زیادی در تعیین مناطق مناسب برای بهره برداری از انرژی خورشیدی دارند.
Introduction
Energy is the fundamental need of mankind which is essential central to achieving the interrelated goals of modern societies: such as human needs for heating, cooling, lighting, mobility and for running a large diversity of appliances, as well as to supply power and heat to production systems. Global energy resources can be classified in to three main groups, namely fossil energies (oil, gas, coal, etc.), nuclear energy, and renewable energies (wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, etc.). Most of the energy resources currently relied on are finite and will be depleted because of the increasing demand. In addition, there have been serious local air, water, and soil pollution problems as a result of the consumption of various energy resources. It has become clear that continuing to use fossil fuels is not wise not only because of the global impacts on climate system but also the short-term and very long-term impacts on society and the ecosystem. Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology is one of the fastest growing Renewable Energy Resources (RES) technologies worldwide. Harnessing the untapped and unmatched solar potential would not only assist in improving total energy mixture but also reduce the emission of harmful and toxic gases. Multi criteria analysis (MCA) can be defined s formal or structured approaches for individuals or groups to determine overall preferences among alternative options by taking account of multiple criteria and indicators. They have become increasingly popular in decision making on sustainable developments and on energy systems due to their ability to consider and simultaneously evaluate a number of economic, environmental, social and technological aspects, which complex systems require. The purpose of this study is providing a decision support tool for decision makers using Fuzzy AHP as a Multi Criteria Decision Making MCDM technique and GIS tools for investigation and selection of suitable solar farms sites in East Azarbaijan province.
Methodology
Considering previous studies in the literature and case study of this research, nine criteria including GHI, PVOUT, elevation, slope, aspect, yearly sunshine hours, annual averaged relative humidity, proximity to cities and roads were adopted. GHI and PVOUT layers downloaded from “solargis” website. For generating climatic layers, we applied IDW method using 14 meteorological stations data that downloaded from “East Azarbaijan metrological website”. Elevation, slope and aspect’s layers were created using ASTER satellite Digital Elevation Model (DEM) product. Proximity to cities and roads layers also created using raster calculator tool in ArcGIS 10.3 software. All criteria layers generated in ArcGIS 10.3 software and standardized to [0-1] scale using different equations. In order to perform overlay analysis, all layers’ cell size should be same so cell size for layers determined 29.27 square meters. In some areas, due to legal constraints, engineering or environmental aspects, there is no possibility of deploying solar farms, so three types of areas including protected areas, areas that are so close to cities and areas that are close to active faults defined as constraint areas. To determine the relative weights of the criteria to each other fuzzy AHP technique applied. Finally, sensitivity analysis has been performed on the results of AHP in order to validate the results.
Results and discussion
The results obtained for AHP method show that PVOUT and GHI criteria have highest priority weights and annual averaged relative humidity and yearly sunshine hours have lowest priority weights. in order to generate primary suitability map, criteria and their weights combined using raster calculator tool. highest suitability was 0.8 and lowest was 0.0628. Then constraint layers created using buffer tool integrated to one layer and converted to a binary layer with 0 and 1 values; that 0 indicates that places including constraint and 1 indicates places that there is no constraint there. In order to generate final suitability map, the final binary constraint layer applied to primary suitability map using multiplication operator in raster calculator tool. Results show that 47.99% of study area has weak suitability, 27.10% of study has moderate suitability, 18.31% of study area has good suitability and, 06.60% of study area has great suitability for solar farm deployment. So that west and southwest areas of study area has most suitability and north and northeast areas has least suitability. This is because of west and southwest areas mostly are flat areas with high values of GHI and PVOUT and north and northeast areas despite of having low elevation, values of GHI, PVOUT, yearly sunshine hours, annual averaged relative humidity are not suitable in this areas. For conducting sensitivity analysis, 3 criteria weight scenarios were considered. In first scenario equal weights assigned to all criteria, in second scenario higher weights assigned to Elevation, slope and, aspect criteria and other six criteria weights considered equal. Finally, in third scenario higher weights assigned to GHI and PVOUT criteria. It should be noted that in all scenarios total weight of all nine criteria is 1 (or 100%).
Conclusion
In this study site selection for solar farms using Multi Criteria Decision Making techniques and Geographic Information System was conducted. Nine criteria were adopted and relative priority weights using Fuzzy AHP method were calculated. PVOUT criterion has highest weight and yearly sunshine hour criteria has lowest weight. Layer standardization and overlay analysis was conducted in ArcGIS 10.3. three type of areas considered as constraint areas and applied to primary suitability map. results show that forest and mountain areas are not suitable for solar farms and on the other side smooth and flat areas that mostly located in west and southwest of study area are more suitable for solar farms. policy makers and planners can use results of this study for energy supply of cities using solar energy as one of renewable and cleanest energies. Also methodology used in this study can be performed in other areas with similar conditions.
