Site selection for the utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) solar farm is a critical issue due to its direct impact on the power performance, economic, environmental, social aspects, and existing as well as future infrastructures. In this chapter, we conduct a literature review on site selection of solar PV power plants.
Scientific research on the site-selection procedures of solar photovoltaics (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies is of significant importance, contributing to environmentally sustainable, technically and economically viable, and socially acceptable solar energy projects.
The results show that the most important criteria for solar PV site selection are solar radiation, economic performance indicators (net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), and return on investment (ROI)), carbon emission savings, and policy support. 1. Introduction
Criteria include technical, economic, environmental, and social/political aspects. The proposed model can be extended to other decision making problems. The aim of this study is to determine the degree of importance of criteria affecting site selection of solar photovoltaic (PV) projects using a decision-making model.
The selection of a geographically suitable location for efficient energy production at solar photovoltaic power plants depends on many factors. To achieve a specific result, more realistic figures can be obtained using spatial and meteorological data of the studied region in geographic information systems (GIS) .
Any site selection and assessment procedure must address the technical, economic, social, and environmental aspects of the project to determine whether it is suitable for solar energy development. As a result, en-ergy and electricity industry professionals and policy groups have developed a variety approaches to mitigate sitting of so-lar parks.

In summary, the economic performance of the energy storage power station is mostly affected by rental fees and the heat price, the price of auxiliary service also exerts a great impact on the economy, while the impact on the economy of cost per unit capacity of energy storage and downtime is less significant.
Regarding shared storage, Reference presents a shared energy storage capacity configuration model that combines long-term contracts with real-time leasing, addressing various modes.
In the leased mode, the energy storage is owned by an energy storage company, while the new energy power plant acts as the user. In the shared mode, the energy storage is collectively owned by a consortium of new energy power plants, with the individual plants within the consortium serving as the users.
For instance, in Guangdong Province, new energy projects must configure energy storage with a capacity of at least 10% of the installed capacity, with a storage duration of 1 h . However, the selection of the appropriate storage capacity and commercial model is closely tied to the actual benefits of renewable energy power plants.
First, energy storage configuration models for each mode are developed, and the actual benefits are calculated from technical, economic, environmental, and social perspectives. Then, the CRITIC method is applied to determine the weights of benefit indicators, and the TOPSIS method is used to rank the overall benefits of each mode.
In the self-built mode, the new energy power plants themselves are both the owner and the user of the energy storage, meaning the storage system is constructed and operated by the power plants. In the leased mode, the energy storage is owned by an energy storage company, while the new energy power plant acts as the user.
