Potential Survey of Establishing Solar Power Plants Using AHP Model and Fuzzy Logic in Sistan and Baluchistan Province

Solar energy is one of the clean and renewable energies that can be used anywhere in the world. This energy has a special place in terms of efficiency power and economics. Many parts of Iran have potential for exploiting solar energy and clean energy production. Considering the location of the solar power plant, it has a significant impact on its production and efficiency rate , it is also important to determine the suitable areas for its establishment . In this paper, the potential of cities in Sistan and Baluchestan Province for solar power plant has been studied. The main criteria of this potentiometer include sunny hours, temperature of the area, cloudiness, rainfall, dust and the height . The present research is applied in terms of its purpose and in terms of its nature and method is descriptive-analytical one. The data interpolation method (IDW) and layer's fuzzy by using fuzzy logic formulation in GIS environment analysis were used to analyze the data. Hierarchical Analytic Model (AHP) has also been used to determine the importance of variables. By combining the fuzzy weighted layers, the map of potential areas for the construction of a solar power plant in Sistan and Baluchestan province was obtained. Finally, the results show that the cities of Saravan and Nik Shahr are suitable for the construction of a solar power station, Khash and parts of the Iranshahr city are the Suitable and fairly suitable areas Zabul, Zahedan, Chabahar, Konarak and part of the city of Iratshahr are relatively inappropriate and completely inappropriate for the construction of a solar power plant.
