Abstract

Limited fossil energy reserves in the world and increase the level of energy consumption, human always challenged to replace new energy sources. In the meantime the wind and the sun, having the advantage because of environmental pollution, and free of charge, will contribute greatly to the future of energy production in the world.. The aim of this study was to locate a suitable location for the establishment of wind farms in the province of Qazvin by considering criteria and sub criteria were effective. Given the importance of integrating information, analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to weight the selection and software layers of the software Expert choice was to implement a Geographic Information System (GIS) was used to analyze the spatial and layers. After data analysis, Qazvin province in terms of the construction of wind farms on three levels without power, average power and view available data rates were quite reasonable division The areas with the limits specified for locating wind farms and using geographic information system mapping out the entire range. The results show that fuzzy AHP method can provide more accurate according to the parameter And more precisely identify areas of limitation. It seems that the Qazvin-prone areas in the East and in the West in restricted areas closer to the city's takestan As well as North and North-West and South regions of Bouin Zahra areas are suitable areas for wind energy load.
