The objective of the present paper is to conduct a thorough technical–economic evaluation for the construction of small wind turbines in six areas within Ardabil province of Iran using the Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources software, and also to rank these areas by a hybrid approach composed of Data Envelopment Analysis, Balanced Scorecard, and Game Theory methodologies. Higher accuracy of the proposed hybrid approach and its ability to properly detect the relationships between the decision-making components make it preferable over the simple Data Envelopment Analysis method. Technical–economic feasibility study is conducted by analyzing wind speed data for period from 2008 to 2014 using Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources software. In the next step, the type of equipment used in the design, benefit, costs, total net costs, depreciation and amount of generated electricity are obtained separately for each location. The results show that; Airport, Nir, Namin, Bilasavar, Firozabad and Ardabil were rank first to last respectively.
