Abstract

ABSTRACT The present study implemented an integrative approach facilitated by the developed model called ‘the location-based model of sustainable-development-of-energy' to select the optimal location for deploying Run-of-River (RoR) hydropower plants in Fomanat plain, Gilan, Iran. The suggested model was developed based on a geospatial information system (GIS) and multi-criteria-decision-making (MCDM) methods. A best-worst method (BWM) was further applied to weigh the criteria and calculate a land suitability index (LSI) to evaluate the potential sites. The results were grouped into five categories from the ‘least suitable' to the ‘optimal' based on LSI. Finally, the potential power generation by RoR hydropower plants was estimated for each river in the output suitable areas from the model after validating the result by the field survey process. Accordingly, 0.44% (19.15 km2) of the study area was optimal for deploying RoR hydropower plants, and the results had the highest infrastructure, geographical, and economic potentials due to the aspects of the model. Furthermore, the results indicated that installing RoR hydropower plant facilities in the Fomanat plain produce an average of 4371 KWH per month, which suffices to meet the residential need of more than 12,000 households.

基于gis的顺流水电选址框架:基于可持续发展能源方法的模型

本研究实施了一种综合方法，该方法由称为“基于位置的能源可持续发展模型”的开发模型促进，以选择在伊朗吉兰的弗马纳特平原部署径流(RoR)水电站的最佳位置。该模型基于地理空间信息系统(GIS)和多准则决策(MCDM)方法。采用最佳-最差法(best-worst method, BWM)对标准进行加权，并计算出土地适宜性指数(LSI)，对候选用地进行评价。结果根据LSI从“最不合适”到“最佳”分为五类。最后，通过实地调查过程对模型结果进行验证，对输出适宜区内各条河流RoR水电站的潜在发电量进行估算。因此，0.44% (19.15 km2)的研究区域最适合部署RoR水电站，并且由于模型的各个方面，结果具有最高的基础设施，地理和经济潜力。此外，结果表明，在弗洛马纳平原安装RoR水电站设施平均每月产生4371千瓦时，足以满足12,000多户家庭的居住需求。

期刊介绍： Civil Engineering and Environmental Systems is devoted to the advancement of systems thinking and systems techniques throughout systems engineering, environmental engineering decision-making, and engineering management. We do this by publishing the practical applications and developments of "hard" and "soft" systems techniques and thinking. Submissions that allow for better analysis of civil engineering and environmental systems might look at: -Civil Engineering optimization -Risk assessment in engineering -Civil engineering decision analysis -System identification in engineering -Civil engineering numerical simulation -Uncertainty modelling in engineering -Qualitative modelling of complex engineering systems
