The figure 7.3 shows the horizontal wind velocity extracted in the site at 6 metersheight.As it can be seen the higher speed values are located in the zone of the mountains,surrounding the plateau where the stations were placed.According to this consideration and the conclusions of the chapter 4, finding sectors60 and 240 as dominant wind directions, 16 turbines have been placed in two rowsperpendicular to the dominant wind directions.The position of the turbines can be seen by the figure 7.4, while a perspective viewof the wind park has been also presented in the figure 7.5.Figure 7.4: Orography map with wind turbines position.121
