Abstract

This study tried to find out the selection of site for the wind turbine in India. We have chosen six wind power projects which are located different places in India. Wind power, Hub height, Distance, Cost, CO2, Wind speed and Blade height are the seven criteria had taken for the selection of best location.The analytical hierarchy process (AHP) is integrated with technique for order reference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) to meet the objective of this study. Firstly, the weights of each criterionare to determine using AHP. These weights will be used in TOPSIS method to select the best project. A case study is performed to exhibit the application of the methods was conducted to evaluate six types of wind power projects. The AHP-TOPSIS result showed that the Muppandal wind farm, Kanyakumariis the best wind power project among the six projects.

Highlights

These days, ozone consumption, expanding worldwide normal temperature, environmental change, various kinds of contamination, and high reliance on petroleum products are some the significant issues confronting humankind
The advancement of sustainable power source innovation and its going with benefits, for example, decreased contamination, plenitude, and changelessness have caused this sort of vitality, wind vitality, to turn out to be financially reasonable and to be seen well by all specialists regarding this matter
The procedure of TOPSIS method is as follows: Step 1: Construction of decision matrix: It is the matrix formed between Projects and Criteria’s and the size of the matrix is 6*7

Summary

Introduction

These days, ozone consumption, expanding worldwide normal temperature, environmental change, various kinds of contamination, and high reliance on petroleum products are some the significant issues confronting humankind. Oil, and gas will in the end evaporate within a reasonable time-frame. In this way, the expanded utilization of perfect and sustainable power sources is one of the measures that many created nations have taken in ongoing decades to handle these issues somewhat. The advancement of sustainable power source innovation and its going with benefits, for example, decreased contamination, plenitude, and changelessness have caused this sort of vitality, wind vitality, to turn out to be financially reasonable and to be seen well by all specialists regarding this matter. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), presented by Thomas Saaty (1980), is a compelling apparatus for complex decision making, and may help the chief to set needs and settle on the best choice. The AHP consolidates a helpful strategy for checking the consistency
