Site selection for the utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) solar farm is a critical issue due to its direct impact on the power performance, economic, environmental, social aspects, and existing as well as future infrastructures. In this chapter, we conduct a literature review on site selection of solar PV power plants.
While developing a utility-scale solar power plant, various factors or criteria have to be taken care of in selecting the site location. Probable Site Selection of Photovoltaic Power Plant (PVPP) is a complex MCDM process, as the required site has to be climatically and geographically acceptable. It must also have the highest generation potentials.
In this review, various suggestions for site location of Photovoltaic Power System (PVPS) are studied. The solar power plants are mainly installed in remote regions where solar radiation is high. But these regions are far from the generation site and will face problems in transmission and distribution.
The performance of the proposed method is assessed in the service area of an Ecuadorian power utility. Scenarios considering solar potential and the massive penetration of a new type of load are assessed to define the photovoltaic sites that enhance the integration of renewable sources in the case study.
Feature variables selection Through systematically reviewing the previous literature, a total number of 21 conditioning factors related to physical geographical, socioeconomical, and resources conditions characteristics are chosen to predict the location of solar PV power plants .
The above literature demonstrates that although spatial modelling of solar PV development from micro-scale or a specified geographical unit is increasingly common, few studies have investigated the spatial siting pattern or mechanism from an evidence-based perspective (i.e. using the spatial location of existing PV power plants).
