“…CORDEX outputs are being increasingly used for climate change impact analysis in regional studies because of their higher resolutions (Dosio, 2016;Koenigk, Berg, & Döscher, 2015;Mariotti, Diallo, Coppola, & Giorgi, 2014). Machine learning models, such as extreme learning machine, artificial neural network and neuro-fuzzy systems, have been successfully used for wind speed forecasting (Panapakidis, Michailides, & Angelides, 2019;Yang & Chen, 2019), river flow and flood management (Cheng, Lin, Sun, & Chau, 2005;Fotovatikhah et al, 2018;Yaseen, Sulaiman, Deo, & Chau, 2019), predicting solar radiation (Beyaztas, Salih, Chau, Al-Ansari, & Yaseen, 2019), estimation of evaporation (Moazenzadeh, Mohammadi, Shamshirband, & Chau, 2018;Qasem et al, 2019;Salih et al, 2019) and wind power estimation and extraction, among their many other applications (Petković et al, 2014;Shamshirband et al, 2016). Khanali, Ahmadzadegan, Omid, Nasab, and Chau (2018) used a genetic algorithm to obtain an optimized layout for wind farm turbines in Iran.…”
