GIS and Remote Sensing

8. GIS & RS in Renewable Energy

A geographical information system (GIS) and Remote Sensing is a powerful, quickly developing technology that is making a major influence on renewable energy industries. GIS & RS integrates hardware, software and data for bagging, managing, studying and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information. With GIS, companies could view, understand, question, understand and envisage data in numerous ways that reveal relationships, designs and trends in the form of maps, globes, reports and charts. It is considered the go-to expertise for making the best choices about siting. That is because of the lavishness of information it provides about local land use, population density, proximity to the grid, existing infrastructure, natural resource extraction, environmental assessments and more. It helps the energy company understand what is happening, plus what is expected to happen, in a specific geographical space.
