Site selection for the utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) solar farm is a critical issue due to its direct impact on the power performance, economic, environmental, social aspects, and existing as well as future infrastructures. In this chapter, we conduct a literature review on site selection of solar PV power plants.
The criteria used in site selection for new solar PV grid-connected plants can include: energy production, orography (slopes and orientation), environment (land use and visual impact), distances (to roads, to power substations, and to urban areas), financial, and climate (irradiance, temperature, etc.) , .
We investigate the degree of importance of criteria affecting the site selection of solar PV projects using a decision-making model. In this study, a new model for determining the weight coefficients of the site selection criteria of solar PV projects based on the logarithmic additive assessment of the weight coefficients (LAAW) is proposed.
While developing a utility-scale solar power plant, various factors or criteria have to be taken care of in selecting the site location. Probable Site Selection of Photovoltaic Power Plant (PVPP) is a complex MCDM process, as the required site has to be climatically and geographically acceptable. It must also have the highest generation potentials.
Proximity to populated areas is considered widely in the literature as a determining factor for the site selection problem for solar PV power plant (Halder et al. 2021). When the solar PV power plant is near populated areas, the energy transmission cost is reduced; however, this may adversely affect the environment.
The findings reveal that solar radiation is the most critical factor when choosing a solar PV site (Deveci et al. 2021). A scientific report published ranked ten different criteria for the site selection of a power plant using the fuzzy linguistic technique, ranking solar irradiance as the most important criterion (Türk et al. 2021).
