开发新的风能项目需要大量考虑土地使用问题。一个分析框架，利用地理信息系统（GIS）开发的风力涡轮机的场地适合性进行评估，并预测的位置和范围的土地可用于可行的风力发电发展。该框架使用基于规则的空间分析来评估不同的情景。适用性标准包括物理要求以及环境和人类影响因素。通过包括社会政治问题，这种技术可以帮助预测公众对风电场的接受程度。该分析用于评估大旧金山弗朗西斯科湾区的九个县。该模型准确地描述了已经开发或提议建设大型风电场的地区。它还表明，在湾区有许多地方可以放置小型风力涡轮机。该框架适用于未来风电场发展的其他地区。能源规划者可以利用这些信息来预测风能在土地可用性和公众感知的基础上可以开发的程度。(c)2005爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
The development of new wind energy projects requires a significant consideration of land use issues. An analytic framework using a Geographic Information System (GIS) was developed to evaluate site suitability for wind turbines and to predict the locations and extent of land available for feasible wind power development. The framework uses rule-based spatial analysis to evaluate different scenarios. The suitability criteria include physical requirements as well as environmental and human impact factors. By including socio-political concerns, this technique can assist in forecasting the acceptance level of wind farms by the public. The analysis was used to evaluate the nine-county region of the Greater San Francisco Bay Area. The model accurately depicts areas where large-scale wind farms have been developed or proposed. It also shows that there are many locations available in the Bay Area for the placement of smaller-scale wind turbines. The framework has application to other regions where future wind farm development is proposed. This information can be used by energy planners to predict the extent that wind energy can be developed based on land availability and public perception. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
