Assessment of onshore wind energy potential in Peninsular Malaysia

Wind power and other sources of renewable energy are gaining attention as an alternative to replace demanding on traditional energy sources that scarce. However, wind energy still need to be developed and probably to commercialized as a huge renewal energy sources. The wind data with duration from y...
