Abstract

Wind energy is one of the most available energies in Morocco that could contribute appreciably to the improvement of national energy mix. Identifying optimal locations for wind farm energy is a key issue in the wind energy development process. However, site selection is a complex study that involves not only technical considerations, but also economic, social and environmental requirements. Our research aims to develop a comprehensive and multi-criteria approach based on GIS and MCDM for the assessment of suitable locations for wind farm energy in Morocco.. This paper presents the main results of our approach based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) methods to determine weights of sitting criteria (factors and constraints), and to develop a composite suitability map from single-factor maps representing these criteria. The research leads to a national suitability map for wind farms locations to support Masen’s sustainable spatial policy related to wind energy.

基于MCDM和GIS的最佳风力发电场选址:以摩洛哥为例

风能是摩洛哥最容易获得的能源之一，可以对改善国家能源结构作出显著贡献。确定风电场能源的最佳位置是风能开发过程中的一个关键问题。然而，选址是一项复杂的研究，不仅涉及技术考虑，还涉及经济、社会和环境要求。我们的研究旨在开发一种基于GIS和MCDM的综合和多标准方法，用于评估摩洛哥风电场能源的合适位置。本文介绍了基于层次分析法(AHP)和加权线性组合法(WLC)的方法确定坐下标准(因素和约束)的权重，并从代表这些标准的单因素图中开发复合适宜性图的主要结果。这项研究得出了全国风电场位置的适宜性地图，以支持梅森与风能相关的可持续空间政策。
