Abstract
Because of the effects of nuclear and fossil-based energy on the environment, economics, and security in the world, the need for alternative energy sources has grown steadily and dramatically during the last years. An increasing attraction in renewable power sources, due to rising energy expenses and country-level tax inducement, is driving the research to advance a sequence of improving unified resolutions and novel energy generation equipment. The novel wind turbine installation and the novel wind farm building are critical procedures for long time energy generation. In this chapter, a comprehensive analysis, which combines ARAS and ENTROPY methods, is structured to choose appropriate turbines when improving a wind power plant. The various wind turbine brands were evaluated on different classes (financial, customer satisfaction, environmental, and technical). Data on wind turbines is acquired from 2 MW wind turbine manufacturers.
