Abstract :
In this article, which was conducted based on a case study in Iran's New Energy Organization (SANA), an attempt was made to develop sustainable development management strategies and consider the involvement of many positive and negative factors in choosing a wind turbine for a wind farm in the country. Use appropriate MADM methods. In this regard, after calculating the important factors in the evaluation of a wind turbine technology according to the principles of sustainable development management, AHP was used to weight the criteria and sub-criteria and TOPSIS was used to select the best option. In order to obtain the AHP hierarchy, the descriptive-field method was used, and the desired data was collected in line with the design of the model and different levels of the AHP tree, and the weighting process was carried out based on this. Several interviews were conducted to achieve criteria and sub-criteria. Also, a researcher-made questionnaire in this field was prepared and distributed among the people involved in the wind turbine industry, and finally, the agreed criteria and sub-criteria were calculated. Based on the conducted field studies, effective criteria in sustainable development management by choosing the right wind turbine for a wind farm in five general areas including: "Technical specifications and coordinates", "Technology manufacturer (provider) specifications", "Opportunity fields", "Generators" "Cost" and "Risks and Risk Factors" as well as 31 sub-criteria were identified and categorized. Based on the results, Sinovel Wind International Company was introduced as the best option.
