“…Compared to conventional models, these models require less input and less computational effort (Malczewski, 2007;Kianian et al, 2014;Safarianzengir et al, 2019). A fuzzy system is a system based on the logic rules of "condition-result" which, using the concept of linguistic variables and the fuzzy decision-making process, depicts the space of input variables over the space of output variables (Ahmadzadeh et al, 2010;Afrouzi et al, 2011). The combination of fuzzy systems based on logical rules, and the method of artificial neural networks that have the ability to extract knowledge from numerical information, has led to the presentation of a comparative neural-fuzzy inference system (Ansari et al, 2010;Safarianzengir et al, 2020a).…”

Attention to climatic and environmental potentials for exploitation and meeting human needs has been considered for many years. But the optimal and correct use of this potential requires accurate knowledge and subsequent careful planning. Today, the use of climate and productive energy from the environment is more of a concern for researchers. This investigation aims to appraise the feasibility of establishing solar thermal power plants (solar panels) by examining eight climatic and atmospheric parameters in the environment based on fuzzy logic in northwestern Iran. In this study, the weather datum of 22 Urban Climate Synoptic stations were prepared to evaluate the climatic conditions for the feasibility of establishing a thermal solar power plant for sustainable development using fuzzy logic in the north-west of Iran for each synoptic station during a statistical period of 31 years (1990–2020). This research used eight climatic parameters: average max temperature, average temperature, average min relative moisture, mean relative moisture, total monthly precipitation, and a daily average of Sunny hours, altitude, and wind speed in this systemic model. MATLAB software was used to combine the input data from fuzzy logic and ANFIS Adaptive Neural Network. The climate zoning map for establishing a thermal solar power plant with the scores obtained for each of the parameters and finally the final map was drawn using the ArcGIS. The results show that the fuzzy logic method showed a great variety of options for the establishment of solar thermal power plants using climatic parameters. In total, after obtaining the final rating for each of the 22 stations, Bonab station, with a coefficient score of (0.544–0.589), and Miyaneh station with a score (0.543–0.577), located in East Azarbaijan Province, in the north-west of Iran are appropriate for the establishment of a solar power plant. The Northwest of Iran is suitable to meet the needs of various energies, including domestic electricity, due to the potential stemming from its favorable climatic conditions climate; therefore, it is necessary to take steady steps to develop this important industry. Also, the accuracy of MATLAB and ArcGIS software with a high level of 0.96% confidence in finding a suitable place for the establishment of solar power stations was confirmed. According to the final results obtained from the integration and fuzzification of 8 climatic parameters and zoning of suitable and unsuitable areas for prioritization, Ardabil station with a score of 0.345% in the priority of inconvenient location, and Bonab station with a score of 0.589% in the priority of where the best places were for the establishment of solar power stations. Considering the findings of the present study, the central region and distant locales in mountainous areas were suitable places for the establishment of solar panels. The valuable results of the present study can be given more attention by the sectors that use a lot of sustainable energy. The results of this research in the field of sustainable energy production from the environment are more in the spotlight.

The utilization of conventional sources of energy releases harmful pollutants to the environment causing global warming and acid rain. For that reason, it becomes necessary to use a non-depletable, sustainable and eco-friendly renewable energy as a mean of producing electricity. Malaysia is tropical country rich in resources beneficial in electricity generation as it is in equatorial region therefore it has an abundance of solar irradiance of average annually. In addition, Malaysia’s demand in electricity is increasing to 124,677 GWh by 2020. Therefore, the electricity generation from renewable sources in Malaysia is anticipated to grow in the future alongside the government endorsement due to its clean, eco-friendly and free source of energy which can highly reduce the dependency on oil and gas that emits harmful pollutants to the environment. This paper gives a comprehensive review on the renewable projects and researches in Malaysia, challenges that affect popularity of renewable energy in Malaysia and available and successful renewable energy system in Malaysia.

This paper presents the implementation of a generalized photovoltaic simulation model using MATLAB®/GUI interface. The model is developed using basic circuit equations of the Photovoltaic (PV) cells including the effects of solar radiation and temperature changes. These effects added in real time operation simultaneously. Since the PV module has nonlinear characteristics, it is necessary to model it for the design and simulation of maximum power point for such system applications. Photovoltaic system characteristic curves as current-voltage (I-V) and power-voltage (P-V) characteristics are drawn according to values change of the temperature and solar radiation which observed in MATLAB®/GUI interface. The simulation results showed that these factors and the corresponding PV model influence the maximum power obtained from PV modules under operating conditions. The simulation model also presented the design of the array and the batteries of the load connected to the photovoltaic system.
