Evaluation of gearbox and direct drive wind turbines: An application of the technology dominance theory combined with the Best-Worst-Method to assess the effect of factors for technology dominance on the technology dominance process of wind turbines

Power generation is at the forefront of a transition from fossil fuel to renewable energy sources (RES). Wind energy is a promising technology with rapid developments and the installed base of wind turbines is continuously increasing. Currently, the majority of the installed wind turbines can be categorised under the direct drive wind turbine...
