Abstract: The wind energy sector has faced remarkable growth during the last twenty years in view of tackling the global energy consumption rise and the adverse effects of fossil fuels on humans and the environment. On the other hand, the disperse character of wind energy has raised the need for contemporary Wind Turbines (WTs) to be clustered in industrial scale wind parks in an attempt to maximize the exploitation of the prevailing wind energy potential in a specific area. The increased land intensiveness has been considered as the Achille's heel of wind energy. In this context, the thorough wind park micrositing and the subsequent reliable prediction of the wind speed deficit downstream the WTs' rotor, are considered of paramount importance for the optimized WTs' allocation across the examined territory, as they determine the availability for energy extraction.
