Clean domestic energy is an attractive option, especially for developing countries. Wind has been one of the most appealing renewable energy sources for those as of the beginning of the 20th century. This study focuses on an important work item of the establishment phase of this important energy source: power plant site selection. Three approaches were examined based on multiple-criteria decision-making methods. Stochastic multi-criteria acceptability analysis (a simulation-based approach with different kinds of uncertain information), analytic hierarchy process (a conventional deterministic approach), and AHP-SMAA (a hybrid approach) were applied separately in Turkey. In terms of novelty, analyses were conducted both with (analytic hierarchy process) and without (stochastic multi-criteria acceptability analysis) the preference information of the decision makers. The unique hybrid method integrates stochastic multi-criteria acceptability analysis with analytic hierarchy process to allow the simulation-based experiments with deterministic variables. As a result of the approaches, the same region (Burhaniye-Pelitköy) showed up as the optimal site to establish wind power plants at every turn. The techniques are globally applicable as long as the computational data and all parameters are gathered completely.

Abstract Decreasing fossil energy resources and increasing greenhouse gas emissions increase the need for clean and renewable energy sources day by day. One of the sources of renewable energy is wind power, which has been constantly evolving in recent years. Wind power plants are sometimes unresponsive during peak hours, so a backup storage system seems essential for these power plants. In this study, a hybrid system is presented for connection to wind power plants consisting of fuel cell and hydrogen production, to provide reliable power and valuable by-products. In this paper, a case study is conducted for the desired system in the Shahryar County. The techno-economic optimization of the above system indicates that in the best design (consisting of three wind turbines), the annual production capacity of the hybrid system will be 1795 MWh, of which 12 % is the share of fuel cells. The results show that the hybrid system increases the capacity factor of the wind power plant by 2.8 %. The calculated cost of energy (COE) and the net present cost (NPC) for the hybrid system would amount to $ 0.77 and $ 5 235.066, respectively.
