Evaluation of potential sites in Iran to localize solar farms using a GIS-based Fermatean Fuzzy TOPSIS

Navid Hooshangi et al.

Summary: Iran's energy consumption is increasing rapidly. This paper used a GIS-based FF-TOPSIS approach to prioritize potential sites for solar power plants, considering economic, geographic, climatic, infrastructural, and demographic criteria. Approximately 13.81% of Iran's land has the potential for solar power plants, with the provinces of Sistan and Baluchestan, Hormozgan, Fars, and Khuzestan having the highest potential.

Optimal site selection for the solar-wind hybrid renewable energy systems in Bangladesh using an integrated GIS-based BWM-fuzzy logic method

Kamaleddin Aghaloo et al.

Summary: Solar-Wind Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems (SWHRESs) are considered a promising tool for achieving SDG 7 as they provide more reliable and efficient power than single systems. This paper proposes a GIS-based BWM-Fuzzy Logic Method to select optimal sites for SWHRESs in Bangladesh. The results show that SWHRESs outperform wind and solar systems alone, and the most suitable area for installation is Chittagong. The proposed method has been proven robust through sensitivity analysis and is superior to previous methods. This study provides a powerful decision-making tool for SWHRESs and contributes to achieving SDG 7.

Explainable heat-related mortality with random forest and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) models

Yesuel Kim et al.

Summary: Climate change-induced heat increase has worsened the urban heat environment, damaging human health and resulting in heat-related mortality. Developing effective forecasting tools is crucial in responding to heat-related damage. However, accurately predicting heatwave damage is challenging in regions with varying conditions in a city due to diverse distribution of climatic, demographic, and socioeconomic sectors across local areas. In this study, a random forest-based model was developed to estimate the occurrence of heat-related mortality within a city's detailed spatial unit. The model achieved accuracy, F1-score, and AUC values of 90.3%, 94.75%, and 86% respectively through hyperparameter optimization. The interpretation of the model's estimation results from both global and local perspectives revealed that demographic, socioeconomic, and climatic sectors contributed the most to the estimation process. This study is the first to explore partial scenarios of heat-related mortality through the development and interpretation of a spatial unit machine learning-based occurrence estimation model.

Ying Li et al.

Summary: This study examines the changing trends of annual landscape patterns along the Chinese coastal zones from 1992 to 2018, revealing that coastal areas in China have rapidly become more fragmented and irregular in landscape over the past 30 years. Different evolution directions of landscape patterns were observed between urban fringe and remote areas far away from urban center, with high changing rates occurring in areas adjacent to major urban agglomerations.

Optimal site selection for photovoltaic power plants using a GIS-based multi-criteria decision making and spatial overlay with electric load

S. Zambrano-Asanza et al.

Summary: The increasing adoption of photovoltaic systems due to government incentives and cost-effectiveness will bring significant environmental benefits and help countries meet their international commitments on renewable energy share. However, the optimal location of photovoltaic systems needs to consider factors like land use restrictions, topography, environmental and climatic limitations, and proximity to infrastructure. Further research is needed to study the impact of electric demand requirements and spatial distribution on the enhancement of photovoltaic integration.
