Identification of Potential Wind Farm Locations in Tirumangalam Taluk using Geospatial Information Technology
نویسنده
چکیده
The most favorable locations for wind farm were determined based on environmental landuse factors, wind resources and the layout of the electrical grid lines. In the study landuse map was prepared and updated by using Survey of India topographic sheet and ASTER satellite imagery in open source Quantum GIS & GRASS GIS software environment. Wind Power Density Layer was digitized by using Indian wind Atlas 2010. The electricity transmission grid layer was prepared by using GPS survey and topographic sheet. Potential wind farm locations were identified based on Geo-spatial Information Technology i.e. querying, buffering, proximity, closest facility available, and site suitability analysis for Tirumangalam Taluk of Madurai district, Tamil Nadu, India. From the study it is concluded that in the total area, the area lies in least potential one 13.54 km 2 (2.38%) followed by moderately potential zone 55.46 km 2 (9.78%) and highly potential zone 20.61 km 2 (3.63%).
