巴基斯坦拥有丰富的太阳能发电潜力，可以有效地用于发电。全国各地有各种各样的地方全年都有足够的太阳辐射，因此适合安装太阳能光伏（PV）发电项目。因此，本研究的目的是在巴基斯坦建立太阳能发电项目选址的研究。在这方面，巴基斯坦14个有前途的城市被视为备选城市，并从经济、环境、社会、位置、气候和地形标准方面进行了研究，并进一步补充了20个次级标准。最初，采用层次分析法确定每个主要标准和次级标准的优先次序。后来，模糊VlseKriterijuska Optimizacija I Komoromisno Resenje（F-VIKOR）方法已被用于优先考虑的14个替代品。目前的调查显示，Khuzdar（C2），Badin（C3）和Mastung（C7）是最适合在巴基斯坦安装太阳能光伏发电项目的城市。最后，敏感性分析的结果表明，所获得的结果是可靠的和强大的安装在巴基斯坦的太阳能光伏发电项目。这项研究将有助于政府，能源规划者和政策制定者通过在巴基斯坦建立太阳能发电项目来实现城市的可持续发展。
Pakistan has an abundant solar power potential which can be effectively utilized for the electricity generation. There are various sites across the country which have sufficient solar irradiation across the year, and thus, suitable for the installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) power projects. This study, therefore, aims to undertake research on the establishment of solar power project site selection in Pakistan. In this context, 14 promising cities of Pakistan are considered as alternatives and studied in terms of economic, environmental, social, location, climate, and orography criteria and further supplemented with 20 sub-criteria. Initially, the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method has been used to prioritize each of the main criteria and sub-criteria. Later, fuzzy VlseKriterijuska Optimizacija I Komoromisno Resenje (F-VIKOR) method has been employed to prioritize the 14 alternatives. The present investigation reveals that Khuzdar (C2), Badin (C3), and Mastung (C7) are the most suitable cities for the installation of solar PV power projects in Pakistan. Finally, the outcome of the sensitivity analysis revealed that obtained results are reliable and robust for the installation of solar PV power projects in Pakistan. This study shall assist government, energy planners, and policymakers in making cities sustainable by establishing solar power projects in Pakistan.
