LOOKING FOR THE OPTIMAL LOCATION FOR WIND FARMS

Abstract

Currently, wind power is a leader in the renewable energy sector. One of the many advantages of the development of renewable energy sources is small harm to the en-vironment. Nevertheless, in order to install a wind farm we must overcome a number of obstacles associated with it. One of the many stages of the construction of wind turbines is designing its proper location. It is a very complex process, in which a num-ber of criteria must be analysed, often hardly comparable with each other and even contradictory. The paper presents the concept of selecting a wind farm location using multicriteria optimisation methods.
