Summary Nowadays energy demand has increased due to industrial development and population growth. On the other hand, attention to environmental issues has made it necessary to use renewable energy. The utilization of wind energy is emphasized due to low construction costs and rapid installation. Wind energy, on the other hand, can be stored via creating hydrogen because its power fluctuates at different times and is not uniform. The production of hydrogen and energy is essential to meet the needs of industries in different countries. Therefore, in this study, a comprehensive approach is presented to locating hydrogen production from wind energy using multicriteria decision‐making (MCDM). To implement the proposed approach, a case study in Iran and Hormozgan province is used. Hormozgan province is in good condition in terms of wind potential and many industries in this province need energy and hydrogen. The most appropriate factors were judged to be average wind speed, each region's number of refineries, and each region's rate of industrial development, with weights of 0.192, 0.167, and 0.141, respectively, using the stepwise weight assessment ratio analysis (SWARA) approach. The cities in Hormozgan province were then prioritized using the weighted aggregated sum product assessment (WASPAS) technique. Then, the sensitivity analysis of the ranking results was performed and The COmplex PRoportional ASsessment (COPRAS), additive ratio assessment (ARAS), and weighted sum methods (WSM) methodologies were then used to validate the results. For the development of hydrogen projects, Bandar Abbas was determined as the most suitable place. A 900‐kW turbine at Bandar Abbas will generate 532 730 kWh of power and 8620 kg of hydrogen annually.

“…One of the important tasks to perform before starting any project or business is to conduct a feasibility study to see if investing resources in the concept is financially viable [15][16][17]. The main goal of this study is to assess the viability of generating power from renewable wind and solar energy and then to investigate the production of clean hydrogen fuel from various technical, economic, and environmental perspectives in the Helmand province of Afghanistan.…”

A technical–economic assessment was carried out in this study to determine the possibilities for wind and solar power generation in Afghanistan’s Helmand province. The results showed that most of the province has a solar irradiance of over 400 W/m2, and also showed that wind and solar power generated in the province can be up to twice as cheap as the official price of renewable power in Afghanistan. The most suitable site for solar and hydrogen production was found to be Laškar Gāh, where solar and hydrogen can be produced at a cost of 0.066 $/kWh and 2.1496 $/kg-H2, respectively. In terms of wind power production and hydrogen production from wind, the most suitable site was Sangīn, where wind power and hydrogen could be produced at costs of 0.057 $/kWh and 1.4527 $/kg-H2, respectively. Despite the high potential of wind and solar energy in the Helmand province, the most suitable place in this region to produce hydrogen from wind/solar energy was evaluated from technical, economic, and environmental perspectives with the Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) method. The Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) method was used for weighting criteria and the Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment (WASPAS) method was used to prioritize locations. The results show that Sangīn is the most suitable place for the construction of a wind hydrogen power plant and Laškar Gāh is the most suitable place for the construction of a solar hydrogen power plant.

Summary Due to population growth and industrial development, Iran is facing the challenge of energy supply in various industrial, power plant, agricultural, and residential sectors. While most of Iran's energy supply comes from fossil fuels, these fuels have devastating environmental impacts. Therefore, Iran has to invest more in its renewable energy sources. Given that many locations of Iran have significant wind, solar, and geothermal potential, this study used a combination of SWOT, multicriteria decision‐making approaches, and game theory to identify the best renewable energy development plans for the country. The Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) technique was applied to weight the criteria and sub‐criteria. Impact on the environment, resource potential, and power generation cost with weights of 0.218, 0.182, and 0.145 was recognized as the most important sub‐criteria, respectively. To rank the factors in each SWOT dimension, namely, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, the Grey Additive Ratio ASsessment (ARAS‐Grey) method was then used. Using the game theory and fuzzy Shapley value, the best combination of renewable energy development strategies was determined to be SO1ST3WO1WT1 with a value of (1.72, 0.58, 0.3). The development of high‐efficiency wind and solar technologies and the minimization of output fluctuations and loss through energy storage methods such as hydrogen production and battery banks were identified as the best strategy combination for renewable energy development in Iran.
