Multi-criteria wind power plant location selection using fuzzy AHP

Abstract

The objective of the present study is to select the most suitable location for wind power station through fuzzy AHP method. The problem of selecting location for wind power station was considered as a multi-criteria decision making problem. Essential and sub-criteria were specified and location selection was expressed as a hierarchic structure. Then, the problem was solved by using fuzzy AHP method and the best location for the power station was determined.
