Modeling of Wind Energy Potential for Sarawak: Conceptual Design

Electricity is the basic need of everyone in urban and rural areas. In Sarawak, most of the rural dweller depends on diesel generator for electrical power. However, there are problems such as high cost of fossil fuel, transportation and stepping down of 33/132 kV transmission lines that pass through...
