Abstract
The current research was conducted with the aim of technical, economic and environmental feasibility of a small-scale solar power plant in the northwestern region of Iran. The area studied in the current research is the northwestern region of the country. The research is applied in terms of its purpose and the current research is descriptive or non-experimental and in terms of data type, it is quantitative. In this research, firstly, the study area will be studied by field and library methods, and then the amount of energy and capacity factor of the power plant will be calculated by analytical method, and then, the economic aspect of the project will be investigated. In this research, using the RETScreen software, the amount of solar energy received, the power plant's capacity factor, the estimation of initial and periodic costs, the calculation of the amount of greenhouse gas reduction and the financial evaluation will be discussed. The results show that the highest amount of sunlight in Tabriz city is in June and the lowest amount of sunlight throughout the year is in December. In the 10,000 kW solar power plant selected by setting the benchmark, it can be said that, at the minimum cost, the production of each kilowatt hour of electrical energy in Tabriz city through solar energy costs 0.275 dollars and it costs a lot compared to other methods. assigns Producing the same amount of electricity through a photovoltaic system costs $0.060. According to the obtained results, if this power plant is set up, it is not economical, but it will significantly reduce air pollution.
