“…There are several advantages of wind power, which are [4]: easy to tap; easier installation of the wind turbines when compared with others (e.g., hydro turbine technologies or marine technologies) regarding space allocation and installation time; flexibility of locating wind farms, i.e., onshore and offshore, among others. Despite the advantages of wind power, there are concerns regarding its negative social and environmental impacts [5] and about large-scale infrastructural development that requires proper understanding [6]. There are observed effects of such impacts on landscaping, noise generation, disputes with communities and land use issues [2,5].…”
