Renewable energy sources have been placed as the key to facilitating to provide source of electricity generation. Solar power is one of the most preferable one among renewable energy sources due to the easy to generate in suitable environment. However, there are concerns with the location of solar power plants installation which causes low efficiency and ineffective use. Hence, determining the location for the usage of solar power sources is critical to mitigating those concerns. In addition, Turkey has been focused on investments on sustainable renewable energy sources and there are few studies which work on cities to reveal potential sources. In this study, GIS and intuitionistic fuzzy set based multi-criteria decision-making method is proposed for determining the most suitable areas for solar energy power plant potential site selection in Erzurum province, Turkey. Firstly, a solar energy power plant potential site selection map is made using a GIS program along with considering ecological risks and ecological criteria. Secondly, 20 districts of Erzurum are investigated in terms of 10 criteria (slope, aspect, solar irradiation, land use, wind speed, air temperature, air pressure, air humidity, land surface temperature and transmission line) using intuitionistic fuzzy sets. In these parameters the first time we looked the land use surface. The land use surface is affected the efficiency of the solar power plant. Finally, the comparisons of two methods are done to check consistency of results obtained. The results indicate that both approaches achieve same areas as the most suitable locations for solar power plants installations for Erzurum province in Turkey. The aim of this work is first to investigate possible locations for solar power plant installation using a mapping method, GIS, and then, Intuitionistic Fuzzy is applied to the problem to obtain optimum areas for solar energy. Also, more accurate results are provided comparing results of two methods, GIS and Intuitionistic Fuzzy. The results expose that 25,065.3 km2 for solar power plant suitable for solar power plan installation.

“…(C5) Wind speed is one of the most significant aspects to reduce the temperature of PVs for solar power plants. Determining the direction of the wind is also essential to adjust solar panels with a right angle 33,51,52 . The average wind speed map of Erzurum is demonstrated in Fig.…”

“…Areas of a high slope may decrease the host capacity of solar systems, so the maximum acceptable slope limit should be less than 3% (Uyan 2013). In the Northern hemisphere, flat or slightly south-facing lands are preferred for solar power plants (Koc et al 2019).…”

In this research, an analysis of site suitability and potential desalination capacity for an integrated concentrated solar power (CSP) and reverse osmosis (RO) system can be established to overcome water-energy nexus problems such as water supply shortage, fossil fuel carbon emission, and increasing power consumption in Khanaqin area, East Iraq. Regarding various environmental and economic criteria, the analysis employed different methods and tools: analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method, additive weighting method for location selection (SL), and kriging interpolation with map algebra spatial analysis tools in ArcGIS software. The chosen criteria were assessed by using the rating method, and then the relative weight of each criterion was determined. Site suitability assessment results showed that only 0.05% of the study area, represented by thirteen sites, was highly suitable for the integrated CSP-RO system. Considering higher potential desalination capacity of the integrated CSP-RO system, the number of suitable sites was further refined, therefore only two plant sites were suggested for optimum desalination capacity. The current study helps to quantify factors related to establishing and operating combined CSP and RO plant, which aid for further insight investigations on solar and water resources availability of similar systems for different areas around the world.

“…It is important to use existing lines effectively, since installing a new line requires additional costs. In addition, the fact that electricity produced by solar PV power plants is close to a transformer center reduces the cost as it prevents the construction of new transformers (Koc et al, 2019). Line and point data of power line and transformer centers were taken from Kayseri and its surrounding electric distribution company.…”

Demand for renewable energy sources is increasing since traditional energy sources (i.e., coal, oil, and natural gas) have limited reserves and cause high greenhouse gas emission. Suitable site selection for new generation renewable resources is vital in large-scale projects. In this paper, suitable sites for solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants were selected for a Kayseri, Turkey case. Geographic information systems and multi criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods were integrated to exploit and construct the best location for solar PV power plants. In this context, three main, twelve sub-criteria, and their indicators were determined by considering expert opinion and previous studies. The rank based (i.e., rank sum, rank reciprocal weights, and rank order centroid weights) and analytical hierarchical process (AHP) methods were used to determine the weights of the criteria. The suitability maps created according to the calculated weights were divided into 5 levels (i.e., excellent, good, fair, low, poor site). To compare the success of MCDM methods, 33 existing installed PV power plants were randomly selected and used for validation. It was determined that the rank reciprocal method was the most successful in selection of the most suitable site. Four MCDM methods determined that the Sarız, Tomarza, and Incesu districts of Kayseri were the most suitable sites.
