Centuries ago wind energy was used for the work of mills, in the 12th century it underwent a transformation into a wheel straightened in the vertical plane, which boosted its power, years later, in the 19th century, wind energy was used to produce electrical energy in areas not connected to the electrical grid. This study, aims to evaluate the potential and the production of Dakhla wind farm in Morocco, in this paper, we present in detail the wind potential of the site (wind speeds, dominant direction ...) and the energy production of each configuration and the corresponding wake effect according to the different parameters, This paper proposes a parametric study for dimensioning wind farms, and propose an effective process to choose the adequate wind turbine technology for the wind farm, by comparing deferent wind turbines technologies with deferent unit power, according to deferent scenarios “cases”. A technical study has been conducted as well as an economic study, in order to define the suitable wind turbine technology for the Dakhla wind farm.
