| Summary: | Deciding the key location to build a wind farm is an
essential element in order to obtain optimum energy production
with the least cost of resources possible. A strategic location is
crucial as it will ensure that turbine foundations, access roads
and construction areas be provided at a reasonable cost. The
location selection will also enable the authorities to predict the
environmental impact to the wind farm surroundings. In this
research, the AHP and Fuzzy AHP method are utilized to
evaluate the priority of criteria in selecting a location for wind
farm. A case study is also carried out to evaluate the wind
potential on two locations, thus, implementing the TOPSIS
method to choose the best wind site. The paper is arranged in five
important sections that include introduction, methodology,
results and analysis, discussion and conclusion as well as
recommendation. |
