This paper presents the variants of wind turbine location based on the measurements
of air velocity in different parts of urban development. Wind-power plants are
most often associated with non-urbanized areas due to the small rough terrain.
In the case of urbanized areas, the possibility of using wind turbines is very limited
due to the considerable rough terrain. In the case of built-up areas it is possible
to use the so-called urban vertical wind turbines that can operate at relatively low
air velocities. The location of the wind power plant within the building should be
measured by the wind speed. Wind speed measurements were carried out at various
locations in the Białystok Technical University on the roof of the building, on
the wall of the building and between buildings. Measurements of air velocity were
carried out using permanently installed anemometers.
