Abstract
For the assessment of wind flow model on locations in Bosnia and Herzegovina so far, linear model WASP is mainly used, while the suitability and reliability of the CFD models have rarely been studied. Due to the specific conditions which include the dominant wind from one or two directions and relatively complex topography of the potential sites of wind farms, this work aims to develop a method of assessing wind potential in locations with complex topography and the prevailing wind from one or two directions. The method is applied using empirical data and the mathematical/computer models are employed to determine and describe the impact of such a topography on the wind flow, including assessment of expected production of electricity from wind power. Such research would be an original scientific contribution to the assessment of wind potential and wind energy alone generally.
