The aim of this study was to identify and compare the environmental negative impact of hydroelectric plants and wind. In order to identify factors affecting the plants on the environment, the effect was to identify and classify. the study of the analytic hierarchy process And Expert Choice software is used. In line with the results of this study that NOx and land surface occupied by the total weight, respectively, 0 / 701, 0 / 701 The major consequence of the plants is examined. The negative environmental impact of power plants, wind power and hydropower Network weighed 0 / 444 least environmental impact 0 / 115 negative effect on weight themselves. Keywords: Environmental impact, power generation 1 Introduction The human activities for the provision of welfare facilities and requirements of life and improving the quality of life, directly and indirectly affect the environment and if there is no remedy, they not only fail to improve the quality of life in the long run but destroy it. Environmental is the result of various industrial activities that increasingly threaten the environment [1]. In the settings that the water is considered a critical issue for the development and the role of water resources has remained unknown in the economic boom and social welfare in many third world communities [2] one of the most important methods of acquisition and storage of water is building dams. Building dams, in addition to the exploitation of water resources, provides an energy supply, but the construction of the dam and the power plant has positive and negative consequences in the short term and long term, whether directly and indirectly, on the environmental conditions of the dam site. The Sepidrud Dam in Manjil, is located 200 km northwest of Tehran at a distance of 100 kilometers from the Caspian Sea a little bit lower than the city of Manjil at the conjunction of the two rivers Ghezel Ozone and Shahrod. The dam height above the riverbed is 92 meters and its crest length is 425 meters. The Sepidrud Dam has five power generating units that output a total of over 87 megawatts of electricity. The main objective of the the Sepidrud Dam is regulating the currents flowing into Sepidrud River for irrigation of hectares rice farming in the downstream Gilan and Foumanat plain, and its secondary purposes are flood control, hydroelectric energy generation, drinking water supply and industries in central and eastern cities near Gilan, supplying the requirements of fisheries, aquaculture, and animal husbandry of Sepidrud and also supplying the requirements of the environment [3].

2 47 The Manjil wind power plants are located at 70 km milestone of RashtQazvin road. The extent of wind farm in the Manjil site is 650 hectares, of which 160 hectares belong to Manjil & Paskolan, 15 hectares belong to Rudbar power plant, 75 hectares belong to Herzville power plant and 400 hectares belong to Siahposh power plant. Manjil wind power plant has 127 units of wind turbines with different capacities (such as quadruples 300, 500, 550, and 660), and its development is continuing with a 660 kw model [4]. The generated power of the wind turbines set is 100MW that is transferred to electricity substations of Sepidrud, Loshan and Gilvan. The position of the two power plants is shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 1 Wind power and hydroelectric power plants location in Manjil 2 Methodology In order to identify the factors of the power plant electricity production that affect the environment, according to the characteristics of wind and hydroelectric power plants in the region and the environmental standards for the power plants, a list of factors was prepared [5, 6]. The extent of the influence of these factors was reviewed by ten specialists with over ten years experience and expertise in the field of environmental engineering, environmental health, and the university professors. The parameters were rated with regard to the range presented in the table 1, i.e. the larger the number for each parameter, the more important it is. Finally, subparameters were selected according to the results of the analysis of the initial questionnaire which had the highest importance, or in other words, the subparameters that scored higher than the geometric mean of the total replies to the questionnaire. The subparameters with a score less than the geometric mean of the total replies were removed from the process of analysis [7]. Next, Table 1 The rating range of the parameters Level of Very high Medium low Very low impact high Score in order ISSN:
3 48 to determine the negative environmental effects of the studied power plants a questionnaire was designed based on the selected parameters and subparameters, and was again distributed among the experts. According to the study of multiparameter decision making methods, the analytic (AHP) was used for prioritizing. In this method, first the graphical display is offered, on which the objectives, parameters, subparameters and options are shown. By analyzing the problem to these levels, the decision maker can focus on a smaller set of the decisions (8). The rating range of any of the parameters and subparameters was on the basis of identical to fully preferred preference scales that include between 1 to 9 [9] table 2. The responses and the comments of specialists were analyzed using the Expert Choice software. The weight of the indicators relative to the higher level index (relative weight) was calculated and the composition of the judgments were combined (10). Numerical rating Table 2 The twobytwo comparison in AHP Degree of importance in twobytwo comparison Identical preference Identical to approximate preference Approximate preference Approximate to high preference High preference High preference to very high preference Very high preference Very high to extreme preference Extreme preference 3 The results In this study, we classified parameters in six categories which include air, water, noise, changing landscape, wastewater production, and plant and animal habitats. With the integration of expert opinion into the initial questionnaire, the subparameters prioritization was calculated based on geometric and arithmetic mean of their importance by the Excel software table 3.

The parameters according to their importance in the environment with respect to the performance of the studied power plants were weighed by the specialists. The results of the integrated expert opinions about the paired comparison of the parameters are provided in table 4. The weights of the parameters are shown in fig.3. According to the results presented in fig. 3, air with a maximum weight of was the heaviest and most importance one, and sound was the least important with the lowest weight Table 4The result of the paired comparison of parameters in the Expert Choice software Air Water Noise Wastewater production Changing landscape Plant animal habitat & Air Water Noise Wastewater production Changing landscape Plant & animal habitat Fig. 3 The weight of examined parameters based on environmental implications 32 The subparameters paired comparison and priority and relative weight ISSN:

It should be noted that the higher weight in the study of the environmental impact of power plant represents the higher negative consequences of it. ISSN:
7 52 Based on the opinion of experts, in the study of Manjil power plants impact on water, the hydroelectric plant produced more and negative effects with the weight difference of fig.4. Also, for the parameter of air, the hydroelectric plant produced more and negative effects relative to the wind power plant with a weight of fig.5. On the sound and changing landscape parameters, the Manjil wind power plant with the weights of the and respectively, with a large difference compared to the hydroelectric power, has higher negative effects on the environment. On the parameter of wastewater production, the hydroelectric power plant generates more and negative effects with a weight of fig. 8. Both power plants are almost identical with respect to animal and plant habitat parameter but partially the hydroelectric power plant (the dam) with a weight of has the greatest negative impact.

The result of this research suggests that generally the wind power plants with a weight of have less environmental impacts and next comes the hydroelectric power plant with the weight of with regard to negative environmental outcomes. Fig. 10 The general result of investigating the negative environmental impact of Manjil s wind power plant 4Discussion Skanapio et al. (2013) studied and compared the electrical power plants. The parameters they selected include the impact on the water, the soil, the air, on plants and animals, on the ecosystem, noise and vibrations, landscape, socioeconomic and environmental damages. The results of their studies showed that in terms of these environmental parameters the wind power plant is the best power plant and has the lowest negative environmental implications and the nuclear, water, solar, oil and gas fuel, and coal fuel power plants rank next, respectively [12]. In line with research conducted on renewable energy, Demirtas(2013) in a study to determine the best renewable energy technology for sustainable energy and environment with the AHP method concluded that the wind energy, among the studied renewable energies like geothermal energy, solar energy, hydroelectric energy, and hydroelectric energy is the most suitable technology of energy production [13]. Also, kaya & Kahraman (2010), studied the best renewable energy alternatives in Istanbul with the AHP method and concluded that the wind energy is the best option among renewable energies and next comes solar, geothermal, and hydroelectric power plants [14]. In this study, similar to the present study, two power plants were compared in terms of environmental impact with results similar to this research. 5Final conclusion ISSN:
9 54 According to the analysis made on the comments of experts in the research, according to the results, what is indisputable is that the wind power plant, based on the defined six parameters and the seventeen subparameters has the lowest negative impact on the surrounding environment. This study can be used in the construction of the new power plants to help managers in decision making. REFERENCE [1]Mohammad Shaneh (2008).
