Geo-Environmental Analysis on Specifying Solar Energy Power Plant (SEPP) Fields by GIS and Different Fuzzy AHP Methods

The use of solar energy among renewable energy sources has started to turn out widespread due to its potential, practicality of use and environmental friendliness. In assessing the installation sites of solar energy power plants (SEPPs) economic, social and environmental elements should be taken into consideration, and cultural and paleontological heritage areas should not be damaged. In order for decision-makers to show own predilections in some ways, the subject of this investigate is to specify the convenient fields for SEPP installation in Yalova province with all its districts by using different methods of Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Processes (BAHP) together with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). According to the results obtained, it has been seen that Yalova province has convenient filelds for SEPP sites in the center and east, including the Central and Çiftlikköy districts.
