| Summary: | Wind Energy is the one of the fastest growing renewable energy in the last two
decades. Besides having the most rapid growth, wind energy has become a big part
of the energy consumed globally. However, some of the key factors for a successful
wind power project can be overlooked at times, leading to the failure of such projects
and posing negative effects on its contribution. This project studies the key
parameters that are crucial in the process of selecting potential location for optimal
success in wind power planning at its initial stage. The aim is to build a model that
can be generally applied during wind power planning. A multi-criteria decision
making tool: Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is implemented using Saaty scale
ranging from 1-9 to form pairwise comparisons and evaluate the weightage of each
criteria. The result shows the priorities of the parameters and their significance,
indicating the order of which they should be carried out during planning process |
