Although it may seem obvious, it is important to note that locations such as the bottom of a hill or inside a valley are not good sites for a wind turbine. The best locations in terms of wind resource are typically high on mountains, in large open fields, or on the edge of bodies of water. It is also important to consider the level of wind
