Intelligent Optimized Wind Turbine Cost Analysis for Different Wind Sites in Jordan

TL;DR: In this article , a method for estimating the extracted energy of the wind farms using several mathematical models is proposed, which was based on five wind turbines, Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, and Q5 and three wind distribution models, gamma, Weibull, and Rayleigh, was used to suggest suitable specifications of a wind turbine for a specific wind site and maximize the extracted power of the proposed wind farm.
