Small-scale wind power in the arctic region
Thesis was done for Iin Micropolis Oy, as a part of an Arctic Energy project. The project is founded by European development fund Interreg Nord, Regional Council of Lapland, BusinessOulu, Länsstyrelsen Norbotten and Interreg-program in Norway. The project aims to develop and test a simulation method...
