“…The value of money method has been used to determine the present value of costs (PVC) of electricity produced per year. The electrical energy cost of kWh produced was estimated by dividing the present value of costs by the total energy production of the wind turbine over its life time [4][5][6][7].…”

This paper introduces a computer program to choose the most suitable wind turbine for each site according to technical and economical assessment. The criterion for choosing the most suitable wind turbine for each site is according to which wind turbine and site give a maximum capacity factor and minimum cost of energy($/kWh). This criterion is used because the decision of matching which depends only on maximum capacity factor is not enough because capacity factor is independent of rated power of wind turbine. Therefore, two wind turbines with the same performance parameters but different rated power get the same capacity factor for the same site but it does not get the same cost of energy($/kWh). The computer program has been applied on five locations in Saudi Arabia. The five locations are Yanbou, Dhahran, Douhlom, Riyadh and Qaisumah. The wind turbine parameters such as hub height, rated power, cut-in, rated, and furling wind speeds for ten commercial wind turbines are collected. The Weibull parameters have been estimated numerically and graphically for these five locations. The values of Weibull parameters obtained graphically are similar to the numerical one. Three methods have been used for estimating the cost of energy. The results from these three methods have been compared and the suitable one for Saudi Arabia economics has been selected.

To keep readers up‐to‐date in the field, each issue of Wind Energy will contain a list of relevant published articles drawn from recent issues of a large number of periodicals including Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, International Journal of Energy Research, Renewable Energy, Energy Sources, Journal of Solar Energy Engineering, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Journal, Electric Power Components and Systems along with a number of periodicals published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, etc. The list is limited exclusively to journals not specifically devoted to wind energy and its applications. To assist the reader, the list is separated into broad categories. Although many papers fit several categories, each paper is listed only once under the category thought most appropriate. Also note that the inclusion in the list is not an endorsement of a paper's quality.
