  1. Background


    GIS can also be used to evaluate the potential impacts of renewable energy projects on the environment and local communities. This can include the assessment of potential impacts on wildlife, habitats, and biodiversity, as well as the potential impacts on local communities, such as changes to land use and access to resources. GIS can also be used to evaluate the potential impacts of renewable energy projects on water resources, such as the potential impacts of hydroelectric development on river systems.


    Overall, GIS is becoming increasingly important in the field of renewable energy as it allows for the integration and analysis of various types of data to inform decision-making and planning processes related to renewable energy projects. The technology can be used to identify potential sites for renewable energy development, assess the feasibility of different renewable energy technologies, and evaluate the potential impacts of renewable energy projects on the environment and local communities. As renewable energy continues to gain importance as a source of energy, GIS will play an even more critical role in supporting sustainable and responsible renewable energy development (Bai et al., 2022).


    Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology has become increasingly important in the renewable energy industry. The technology provides a wide range of capabilities for managing, analysing, and visualising spatial data, which can be applied to a variety of renewable energy applications. This paper will discuss the expanding value of GIS in renewable energy, including its use in site selection, project planning, and monitoring and maintenance of renewable energy projects.


    One of the key applications of GIS in renewable energy is site selection. GIS technology can be used to analyse a wide range of data, including topography, land use, and environmental conditions, to identify the best locations for renewable energy projects. This information can be used to identify areas with the highest potential for energy production, as well as areas that may be more challenging for development due to environmental or other constraints.


    In addition to site selection, GIS can also be used for project planning. This includes creating detailed maps and models of proposed renewable energy projects, which can help to identify potential issues and challenges, and to develop solutions to address them. This information can be used to identify areas where additional research or data collection may be needed, and to help inform decisions about the overall design and construction of the project.


    Once a renewable energy project is up and running, GIS technology can also be used for monitoring and maintenance. This includes using GIS to track energy production over time, identify areas where production is lower than expected, and to develop solutions to improve performance. GIS can also be used to track and manage equipment and infrastructure, to ensure that it is functioning correctly and to identify areas where maintenance or repairs may be needed (Di Grazia & Tina, 2023).


    Overall, GIS technology has become an increasingly important tool in the renewable energy industry. It can be used for a wide range of applications, from site selection and project planning, to monitoring and maintenance, and its value is expanding as the industry continues to grow. As renewable energy becomes an increasingly important part of the global energy mix, GIS technology will play an increasingly important role in helping to identify and develop new renewable energy sources and improve the performance of existing projects.

    2. Research Gap


      The incorporation of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) within the realm of renewable energy has attracted considerable interest owing to its capacity to transform the methods by which we strategize, implement, and oversee sustainable energy systems. Significant advancements have been achieved in the utilization of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for renewable energy applications. However, it is important to acknowledge the existence of a distinct research void that necessitates further investigation and innovative approaches.


      A notable area of research that requires attention is the necessity for enhanced and comprehensive Geographic Information System (GIS)-based models that proficiently incorporate multiple layers of data to optimize the selection and dimensions of renewable energy infrastructure. While previous research has shown the effectiveness of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in analysing specific factors such as solar insolation, wind speed, and land use, there are only a limited number of studies that have successfully created comprehensive models that integrate various datasets. These datasets include terrain characteristics, energy demand patterns, socio-economic factors, and environmental limitations. The absence of this information impedes the precise evaluation of the potential advantages and drawbacks of renewable energy initiatives in a specific geographic region, thereby impeding well- informed decision-making for relevant parties.


      In addition, it should be noted that although Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been utilized to evaluate the technical feasibility of renewable energy initiatives, there exists a dearth of comprehensive inquiries pertaining to the economic feasibility of such projects employing GIS-based methodologies. A comprehensive assessment of the financial viability of renewable energy projects can be achieved by integrating spatial data pertaining to resource availability, infrastructure costs, and potential revenue streams within a Geographic Information System (GIS) framework. The act of bridging this divide has the potential to provide policymakers, investors, and project developers with the necessary tools to make informed decisions that effectively reconcile environmental sustainability with economic constraints.


      Moreover, there is a lack of comprehensive research on the social and community dimensions of integrating renewable energy into Geographic Information Systems (GIS) frameworks. The integration of community preferences, cultural sensitivities, and local engagement into Geographic Information System (GIS) can enhance the social acceptability and local adoption of renewable energy projects. The identified research gap necessitates a more comprehensive investigation into strategies for integrating social and spatial data to promote inclusive and participatory development of renewable energy.


      In summary, the existing research deficiency in the realm of enhancing the utility of Geographic Information Systems in renewable energy pertains to the requirement for sophisticated and all- encompassing GIS-based models, an improved comprehension of the economic viability through the integration of spatial data, and a more comprehensive approach to tackling social and community factors. The identification and resolution of these gaps have the potential to greatly augment the effectiveness and influence of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in facilitating the transition towards renewable energy sources.


    3. Research Problem


      The research problem within the domain of enhancing the utility of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in renewable energy pertains to the proficient amalgamation and optimization of spatial data for the purpose of facilitating sustainable energy planning and implementation. Notwithstanding the progress made in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and renewable energy technologies, a considerable obstacle persists in establishing comprehensive frameworks that effectively incorporate various datasets and offer practical insights for decision-makers.


      A significant research challenge pertains to the absence of inclusive GIS-based models that account for various factors, including terrain attributes, energy consumption patterns, environmental limitations, and economic feasibility. Current methodologies frequently center on specific factors such as solar potential or wind speed, yet they do not adequately account for the complex interrelationships among these variables. This impedes the capacity to determine the most advantageous sites for renewable energy initiatives that optimize energy generation while minimizing adverse effects on the environment and nearby communities.


      Furthermore, the research issue pertains to the necessity of improving the precision of predictive models within Geographic Information Systems (GIS) frameworks. The incorporation of real-time data obtained from weather stations, satellite imagery, and energy production sensors is of utmost importance in the dynamic prediction and operational enhancement of renewable energy systems. To tackle this issue, it is imperative to devise algorithms and methodologies that adeptly integrate these data sources and offer dependable predictions to enhance energy management.


      Moreover, a significant research challenge pertains to the incorporation of social and community factors into the process of renewable energy planning using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The successful implementation of renewable energy projects is often hindered by social acceptance challenges. This is primarily due to the absence of tools that adequately integrate community preferences, cultural sensitivities, and stakeholder engagement within Geographic Information Systems (GIS) frameworks.


      The fundamental research issue pertaining to the utilization of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in the context of renewable energy revolves around the creation of sophisticated models that effectively integrate various layers of data. These models aim to enhance the ability to make accurate predictions and encompass social aspects to ensure the sustainable and community-oriented development of energy resources. The resolution of these issues has the potential to significantly contribute to the wider shift towards renewable energy sources.


      Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have long been used in the field of renewable energy for the purposes of site selection, resource assessment, and project management Oki et al., (2018), however, as the field of renewable energy continues to evolve, the value of GIS in this industry is expanding in new and exciting ways. This literature review might explore the current and potential uses of GIS in the renewable energy industry, focusing on the areas of solar, wind, and geothermal energy.


      As per the perception of Smith & Mennis (2020), one of the most common and well-established uses of GIS in the renewable energy industry is site selection. Site selection is the process of identifying and evaluating potential locations for the development of renewable energy projects. GIS is used to analyse and visualise data related to a variety of factors that can affect the feasibility and potential of a site, such as topography, land use, and environmental constraints. As per the study of Song et al., (2017), GIS can be used to analyse the solar resource potential of a site by using data on solar radiation, shading, and topography. GIS can also be used to evaluate the wind resource potential of a site by analysing wind speed and direction data.


      Supriadi & Oswari (2020), stated that GIS can also be used for resource assessment, which is the process of quantifying the potential for a renewable energy resource at a specific location. For example, GIS can be used to assess the potential for solar energy by analysing data on solar radiation and shading (Jayarathna et al., 2020). GIS can also be used to assess the potential for wind energy by analysing wind speed and direction data. GIS can also be used to assess the potential for geothermal energy by analysing data on geothermal gradients and heat flow.


      Another important use of GIS in the renewable energy industry is project management. Project management is the process of planning, organising, and controlling resources to achieve specific goals. As opined by Hill & Larsen (2023), GIS can be used to manage renewable energy projects by providing a visual representation of the project and its components, such as the location of the renewable energy resource, the location of the project, and the location of the transmission lines. GIS can also be used to manage renewable energy projects by providing data on the status of the project, such as the progress of construction and the status of the project's finances.


      In recent years, GIS has also been used in the renewable energy industry for the purpose of monitoring and managing the performance of renewable energy systems (Avila, 2018). For example, GIS can be used to monitor the performance of solar panels by analysing data on solar radiation and shading. GIS can also be used to monitor the performance of wind turbines by analysing wind speed and direction data. GIS can also be used to monitor the performance of geothermal systems by analysing data on geothermal gradients and heat flow.


      In addition to these traditional uses of GIS in the renewable energy industry, there are also emerging uses of GIS that have the potential to provide even greater value in the future. According to Liu et al., (2017), one such use is the integration of GIS with other technologies, such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the Internet of Things (IoT). On the other hand, as per the perception of Kirby, Delmelle & Eberth (2017), BIM is a digital representation of a building's physical and functional characteristics, while the IoT is a network of physical devices, vehicles, buildings, and other items that are embedded with sensors, software, and network connectivity. GIS can be integrated with BIM and the IoT to provide a more complete and accurate representation of the renewable energy project and its performance.

      Another emerging use of GIS in the renewable energy industry is the use of GIS for energy storage Negassa, Mallie & Gemeda (2020), said energy storage is the process of storing energy for later use. GIS can be used to analyse data on energy storage potential, such as the location of potential energy storage sites and the capacity of the energy storage system. GIS can also be used to manage energy storage.
