研究目的
To provide an approach that can contribute to the development of renewable energy generation, minimize environmental impacts and avoid dependency on fossil fuel supply.
研究成果
The proposed method is based on a GIS (Geographic Information Systems) argumentation map in which areas with high potential for solar farm development are identified. The PROMETHEE and Analytic Hierarchy Process methods are integrated together with GIS in order to obtain a ranking of suitable areas for the development of PV solar farms. The economic analysis of suitable areas is quite relevant since its results are useful for the final decision-making process.
研究不足
The study’s limitations also need to be considered with the aim of making recommendations and suggesting improvements for future research, mainly regarding the possibility of extending the pool of expertise to other areas of interest and of improving the online survey.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A GIS-based approach combined with a Multi-Criteria Evaluation methodology is used to create a map which shows a ranking of areas with high potential for solar farm development. The GIS-based methodology is employed in the treatment of the legal and environmental criteria and sub-criteria to delimit the suitable locations. These locations are evaluated and ranked by order using the PROMETHEE (Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations). The importance of each criteria and sub-criteria is determined by an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP).
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study area is the entire territory of the Valencian Community. Diverse geographic data from different data sources available in various formats is used, i.e. maps from the Valencian Institute of Cartography (ICV), the National Geographic Institute (IGN). The solar radiation layer and temperatures were obtained from the PVGIS (Photovoltaic Geographical Information System) website of the European Commission and from the Spanish National Weather Service (AEMET).
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
GIS software, PROMETHEE and AHP methodologies.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The selection of areas with high potential for solar farm development using GIS requires the acquisition and management of spatial data, the application of spatial analysis, and the creation of map-based outputs. The first part of this process is to obtain the thematic layers and maps concerning the exclusion criteria. GIS allow us to identify and order information in various layers of exclusion criteria and to store them in order to facilitate the generation of other layers which identify the available areas.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
PROMETHEE allows us to assess thousands of alternatives. However, it is not possible to build solar installations on every part of the territory since a minimum surface area is required for the installation of solar plants. On the other hand, in view of the numerous forecasts predicting an increase in PV implementation in certain countries or regions (REN21), territorial planning has become an essential tool for organizing these activities in a given territory, which will help identify the areas in which to locate these installations.
