Abstract: Selecting a suitable site is a critical step in wind energy projects. In this regard, using appropriate decision criteria plays a significant role. Turbulence intensity is one of the main characteristics of airflow that affects the power production and lifespan of wind turbines. Therefore, it is considered as a wind site selection criterion in this paper.
