  • Abstract
    In the paper empirical model of flicker initiated in a wind turbine sited on a hill is established. Paper offers ins and outs of impact of various shapes of hills on vertical wind shear and consequently on the flicker produced in the wind turbine which is sited on that surface. In the model vertical wind shear, length of the turbine blade, tower height, slope of the hill are reverberated. The exquisiteness of the model is that, it is expedient to sundry types of hills on which the turbine is sited. Postulations, boundary curbs and limitations of the model are also depicted.
