Assessing Ukraine’s Solar Power Potential: A Comprehensive Analysis Using Satellite Data and Fuzzy Logic
Year: 2024

This study evaluates the land suitability for the placement of solar power stations in Ukraine, utilizing satellite data on climate factors (Global Horizontal Irradiance, temperature, precipitation, wind speed), topography (elevation, slope), and land use. Fuzzy logic, pairwise comparisons, and weighted linear combination methods were utilized to develop a high-resolution (100 m) land suitability map for the installation of solar power plants. The results show that more than half (54.5%) of Ukra
