detection of wind farm and site selection of wind power in sistan and baluchestan province by using fuzzy-ahp in gis

the wind as one of the manifestations of renewable energies is very important for tabernacle instead of fossil fuels. the sistan and baluchestan province, according to its topography and position is one of the best places to build wind power plant. in this research, for potential evaluating of the wind power plants construction were considered different criteria and sub-criteria in the provinces of sistan and baluchestan. criteria fuzzy modeling has been down based on expert opinions and survey researches, the control points and fuzzy function type of each layers based on fuzzy membership ranging from zero to one was applied by idrisi software. then, in order to the importance of the information integration, analytical hierarchy process (ahp) for layers weighting was implemented by expert choice software. so, the arc gis software were applied for spatial analysis and overlay the layers, after the data analyzed, sistan and baluchestan province divided into four levels: excellent, good, fair and poor, in terms of capability the wind power plants building. finally, the results indicated that excellent areas for the construction of wind power plants in the study area are located in the north and north este of the study area at zabul station with an area exceeding 1519851/64 hectares. in addition, good areas are located around the chabahar, west and north west zahedan and parts of southern zabul with an area exceeding 2983473/12 hectares. it is hoped that renewable energy of wind without any pollution could be utilized by the construction of wind power plants in these places ultimately.
