Wind Turbine Type Recommendation

This project aims to develop an application that supports sustainable energy decisions by helping decision-makers choose between various wind turbine models based on cost, energy production, and noise pollution to optimize clean energy adoption.

Decision makers

• Wind farm developers
• Renewable energy investors
• Policy makers
• Environmental regulators

Objectives

To optimize energy production, minimize costs, and minimize noise pollution

Data attributes

Context

The situation decision makers are in when they have to make a decision can be described by the following attributes:

• Average Wind Speed (Numerical): Measured in meters per second
• Proximity to Populated Areas [Urban, Suburban, Rural]
• Local Regulations (Categorical): [Strict, Moderate, Lenient]
• Land Area Available (Numerical): Measured in square kilometers

Actions

Decision makers can take the following actions:

• Selection of Wind Turbine Type (Categorical): [Model 1, Model 2, …, Model 20]
• Adjustment of Blade Length (Numerical): Measured in meters
• Determination of Installation Location (Categorical): [Near residential area, open farmland, coastal, mountain region]

Outcomes

Decision makers are evaluated on the following outcomes:

• Energy Production (Numerical): Measured in megawatt-hours (Maximize)
• Total Cost (Numerical): Includes purchase, installation, and maintenance (Minimize)
• Noise Pollution Impact (Categorical): [Low, Medium, High] (Minimize)
