"Renewable energy is a very important segment of human life in the modern world which provides energy for electricity generation, air and water heating/cooling, transportation, and off-grid energy services and which is collected from renewable resources that are naturally replenished on a human timescale such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat. Wind power is the use of air flow through wind turbines to mechanically power generators for electric power, with insignificant effect to the environment. Wind farms are the areas with a group of wind power stations connected to an electric power network. Selecting the most appropriate position and orientation related to natural prerequisites is the main challenge concerning the establishment of wind farms by GIS experts. Based on the official instructions in Macedonia, wind energy can be used for producing mechanical or electrical energy, while the installation of wind farm depends on wind speed, the power of the wind turbine, obstacle in the direction of wind movement, people health and safety, the impact to the environment and wildlife, as well as security and protection. In this paper, performed research analyses for determination of potential locations for installing wind power stations based on GIS spatial analyses and the obtained results are presented. During the analyses, the lack of official databases has been recognized, which directly affected the accuracy of the calculated results. As final outputs, a raster dataset has been developed and a map with best locations for wind farms within whole research area is compiled."
