This paper aims to propose a practical decision support model for the optimal design of future wind turbines based on available wind potential on the site of interest. A developed decision support model based a comprehensive wind turbine modeling and a constrained techno-economic optimization framework is presented. Optimization was subject to the Net Present Value (<italic>NPV</italic>) maximization of the net incomes from wind energy generation, under the constraints on wind turbine nominal power restriction and the maximum ratio permitted between the rotor diameter and tower hub height. Optimizations of rotor diameter and tower height sizing have direct impacts on energy and cost production, those parameters have been considered as the design variables. The optimal design selection considers: the nominal power, rotor diameter, and tower hub height, which led to the maximum <italic>NPV</italic> in a specific site. Furthermore, an analysis of the Levelized Cost of Energy production (<italic>LCOE</italic>) has been performed. The developed decision support model has been tested and applied to a case study to validate its application and performance. The developed model was verified and significant results were achieved using three different wind sites: Dakhla, Casablanca, and Tanger.
