Using GIS Spatial Analysis for Examination the Utility of the Suggested Suitability Energy Farms Over Kirkuk City
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Global electricity demand is rising, prompting increased attention to renewable energy sources like solar power. This research focuses on identifying suitable areas for power lines connecting solar farms to distribution stations in Kirkuk City. Data types, including urban areas, industrial zones, farms, water bodies, and archaeological sites, were analyzed using GIS-based spatial tools. The study highlights accessible and inaccessible regions of Kirkuk's electricity transmission infrastructure, providing insights for decision-makers. The analysis categorizes areas as either benefitted or unbenefited in the context of solar farm suitability. An important consideration is the need for additional electrical distribution stations to accommodate energy transfer from these solar farms.
