Investigation of using solar energy: a case study
نویسنده
چکیده
This study analyzes the technical-economic feasibility study for construction of solar plants in 14 different locations of Khuzestan province in Iran. The HOMER software, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), Balanced Scorecard (BSC), and Game Theory (GT) were used for ranking the areas in the province. The outputs of the HOMER software includes the kind of equipment to be used for building of each plant, benefit, cost, total net capital expenditure, depreciation cost and the amount of electricity generated by each plant. Finally, nominated cities were ranked according to four criteria: the net cost of construction, earnings, the amount of generated power, and pollution created by the plants. It was concluded that the cities of Abadan, Omidiyeh, and Aghajari ranked the highest respectively, and the city of Behbahan and Ahwaz ranked the lowest. Also, the results of validation illustrated that ranking obtained by the hybrid approach is almost same as the simple DEA methodology.
