Abstract This paper proposes a multi-criteria decision-making method for new energy power station site selection based on fuzzy comprehensive analysis method. It is applied to make decisions the target location when selecting address building station, ensure reasonableness of corresponding weights each index, and give reasonable scientific suggestions decision-makers obtain expected results.

The deployment of onshore wind power is an important means to mitigate climate change. However, turbines also produce local disamenities residents living next them, mainly due noise emissions and visual effects. Our paper analyzes how the presence affects socially optimal siting power. analysis builds on a spatial optimization model using geographical information system (GIS) data for Germany. ...

For the first time, global ocean usable wind power is evaluated for modern offshore turbine characteristics including hub height, usable portion of the wind speed distribution and siting depth. Mean wind power increases by 30%, 69% and 73% within the tropics and northern and southern hemisphere extratropics, respectively, between hub heights of 10 m and 100 m. A turbine with a cut-out speed of ...
