Wind energy potential for the electricity production - Knjaževac Municipality case study (Serbia)

Geospatial potential for harvesting wind energy is not an easy task to perform in conditions of deficiency of accurate data in remote and large areas (macro to medium locations). There are different methodologies available to identify the most suitable location for the installation of wind power gen...
