Abstract

In this study, for potential survey construction of wind power plants in
the provinces of Khorasan Razavi and Northern different criteria and
sub-criteria have been considered. To become fuzzy criteria are based
on expert opinions and investigation done researches, control point
and fuzzy function for each of the layers based on their membership
gradation range of zero and one was determined in the IDRISI
software. Then, according to the importance of integrating
information, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) for layers weighting
was implemented by Expert choice software. Then, the software
ArcGIS, was used to spatial analysis and overlapping layers, and after
the analysis of information, Razavi Khorasan and North Khorasan
province, in terms of capability the wind power plants building,
divided into four levels: excellent, good, fair and poor. Finally, the
results indicated that excellent are as for the construction of wind
power plants in the study area are located in thesoutheast ofthe study
area at Torbatjam station with an area exceeding 222565
.97 hectares
(0.018 percent). In addition, good areas are located around the Taybad
and Khaaf, Golmakan, Sarakhs, Roshtkhar, Bardaskan, Neyshaboor,
Sabzevar, Bojnurd, Ferdows and Jajarm stations with an area
exceeding 1817573
.81 hectares (0.17 percent). One cans that
renewable energy of wind without any pollution could be utilized by
the construction of wind power plants in the replaces ultimately.
