heal.abstract	On the Greek island of Kythnos, the Greek Public Power Corporation in collaboration with the German firm M. A. N. , has installed five horizontal axis Wind Generators of total installed capacity 100 KW. The present study reports results of a wind tunnel investigation on a model of the area at a scale of 1:200. Flow visualisation gave the qualitative behaviour of the flow field above the model of the Wind Park. The existence of two hills, one short and one tall as also of a valley approximately 250m in front of the Wind Park have a predominant influence on the quality of the flow approaching the Wind Generators. Velocity measurements taken with a single hot-wire normal to the free stream flow direction and with a five hole Pitot tube, one rotor diameter upstream of each Wind Generator, verify qualitatively the flow visualisation observations. The most successful site is the area where W/G No 4 and No 5 are installed, whilst the least successful is the site of W/G No 1.	en
