the Best Placement ofWind Turbine in Iran using new ranking method

In this paper, the best place of wind turbine winds is evaluated in different sites in Iran. This assessment is done with considering different criteria to evaluate different sites. There are several criteria to evaluate our sites. These criteria are average wind speed, frequency of natural disasters, geological properties, geographic features and land cost. The evaluation is done based on these criteria using different MADM (Multi Attribute Decision Making) methods including SAW, PROMETHEE, logarithmic SAW and PROMETHEE and genetic algorithm. Finally, the proposed model is evaluated, verified and the results discussed.
