Abstract

In this paper we use the fuzzy extent analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and the ArcGIS geographical information system to develop a decision support tool to aid stakeholders select the most suitable and sustainable site for a wind turbine farm in Zamfara State, Nigeria. We use fuzzy sets and fuzzy numbers to deal with vagueness of human thought in the selection process and develop the problem hierarchy with the various criteria which will be evaluated to obtain the fuzzy comparison matrices which are then used to calculate of fuzzy synthetic extents. The comparison of fuzzy synthetic extents, the evaluation of the minimum degree of possibilities. and normalization of weight vectors are done to aggregate the local weights to obtain scores and ranking of the alternative sites for the wind turbine. We then use the weighted linear combination technique in ARCGIS to generate raster suitability maps and produce a composite suitability map for the turbine sites as output.

基于模糊层次分析法的决策支持系统和地理信息系统在风力发电机组可持续选址中的应用

在本文中，我们使用模糊程度层次分析法(AHP)和ArcGIS地理信息系统来开发决策支持工具，以帮助利益相关者为尼日利亚Zamfara州的风力发电场选择最合适和可持续的地点。我们利用模糊集和模糊数来处理人在选择过程中的思维模糊性，用各种评价标准建立问题层次，得到模糊比较矩阵，然后用模糊比较矩阵计算模糊综合度。比较模糊综合程度，评价最小可能性度。并对权向量进行归一化处理，对各局部权值进行汇总，得到风机备选场址的得分和排名。然后，我们使用ARCGIS中的加权线性组合技术生成栅格适宜性图，并为涡轮机场地生成复合适宜性图作为输出。
