Abstract

Positioning of large energy facilities is, as a rule, accompanied by a strong rejection of local and regional communities, without which it is not possible to determine the location and construction conditions for the facility in spatial plans. However, a synergy of three components may enable a successful project realization. Firstly, the application of verified and objective scientific methods for the selection of the most appropriate LNG terminal location. Secondly, the consideration of the best world practices in project documentation preparation for such terminal construction. And lastly, the continuous involvement of the local community into the entire process. The paper presents an approach aimed at solving the problem of choice by applying the methodology of choosing the “best compromise location” based on system characteristics, available data, set criteria, and limitations. The key “dimension” of such a problem is “space”, i.e. the spatial aspects of location selection. The paper provides an overview of the activities, procedures, and methods used to define the optimal location of the receiving LNG terminal in the Republic of Croatia as part of the analysis and research carried out by EKONERG and in the function of creating the Spatial Plan of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County. Accordingly, the main objective of this paper was to highlight the specifics of LNG terminal site selection as well as the possibility of objectively defining the optimal location using the multi-criteria decision-making method that simultaneously takes into account all influential factors and criteria in defining it. The paper uses the methodology of multi-attribute decision process and multicriteria analysis of the selection of the optimal location of the LNG terminal on the territory of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County. It systematically and scientifically analyses, consistently formulates, and proposes elimination and comparative criteria necessary to determine the optimal location of the LNG terminal for the purpose of drafting regional level spatial planning documents. The presented methodology was carried out using the process of multicriteria ranking of variants. The method of weighted sum values was used. Weighting factors are determined partly in an exact way (where possible) and partly based on the application of Delphi group decision-making methods. The methodology was tested on a concrete example of variant analysis for the location of LNG terminals in the Republic of Croatia. By implementing the presented methodology, the location of the northern part of the island of Krk was determined as optimal for the location of the LNG terminal. The aforementioned was implemented in the Spatial Plan of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, and the first phase of the receiving LNG terminal was built and put into full operation.
多准则分析在LNG终端选址中的应用
大型能源设施的定位通常伴随着当地和区域社区的强烈反对,没有这些反对,就不可能在空间规划中确定设施的位置和建设条件。然而,三个组成部分的协同作用可能会使项目成功实现。首先,应用经过验证的客观科学的方法选择最合适的LNG终端位置。其次,考虑国际上在此类码头建设项目文件编制中的最佳做法。最后,当地社区在整个过程中的持续参与。本文提出了一种基于系统特征、可用数据、设定标准和限制来选择“最佳妥协位置”的方法,旨在解决选择问题。这个问题的关键“维度”是“空间”,即区位选择的空间方面。本文概述了用于确定克罗地亚共和国LNG接收站最佳位置的活动、程序和方法,这是EKONERG进行的分析和研究的一部分,也是创建Primorje-Gorski Kotar县空间规划的功能。因此,本文的主要目的是强调LNG终端选址的特殊性,以及使用同时考虑所有影响因素和标准的多准则决策方法客观确定最优位置的可能性。本文采用多属性决策过程和多准则分析方法,对滨海戈尔斯基-科塔尔县境内LNG接收站的最佳选址进行了选择。系统、科学地分析、一致地制定并提出确定LNG终端最优位置所需的剔除和比较标准,以起草区域级空间规划文件。所提出的方法是使用多准则对变量进行排序的过程进行的。采用加权和值法。加权因子部分以精确的方式确定(在可能的情况下),部分基于德尔菲集团决策方法的应用。该方法在克罗地亚共和国液化天然气终端位置的变量分析的具体例子上进行了测试。通过实施所提出的方法,Krk岛北部的位置被确定为液化天然气终端的最佳位置。上述内容在滨海边疆区-戈尔斯基科塔尔县空间规划中得到落实,LNG接收站一期建成并全面投入运营。
