The following notes are taken from Wind Turbine Technology by Ahmad Hemami.
- siting is the evaluation of a site for wind turbines and development
- wind resource map not enough quality of wind
- quality of wind depends also on topography and altitude
- class of wind
- also have to worry about frequency of wind storms or hurricanes
