This work comprehensively evaluates onshore wind farms, focusing on their technological efficiency, environmental impact, economic viability, and societal implications. Onshore wind energy has emerged as a prominent renewable energy source, leveraging the kinetic power of wind to generate electricity on a substantial scale. The evaluation encompasses a detailed analysis of wind resource assessment, turbine technology, grid integration, environmental considerations, economic feasibility, and stakeholder engagement. Findings reveal that onshore wind farms exhibit commendable technological advancements, with modern turbines showcasing higher efficiency and capacity. Environmental assessments highlight their lower carbon footprint compared to conventional energy sources, albeit with considerations for land use and wildlife impacts. Economic evaluations emphasize the decreasing costs of wind energy, yet challenges persist concerning upfront investment and intermittency. Stakeholder engagement emerges as a crucial aspect, stressing the importance of community acceptance and regulatory compliance. The assessment illuminates the multifaceted aspects of onshore wind farms, underscoring their potential as a sustainable energy source while acknowledging the need to address technological, economic, and social barriers to widespread adoption. We used the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model for evaluating the onshore wind farms. The Measuring Attractiveness by a Categorical Based Evaluation Technique (MACBETH) method is used to rank the alternatives. The MCDM method used under single valued neutrosophic set (SVNS). The SVNS is used to overcoming the uncertainty in the evaluation process.
