$(ii)$ The wind must be strong and steady,typically having a speed of at least $15\, km\, h^{-1}$ to rotate the turbine effectively.
$(iii)$ $A$ large,open,and free space is required to install multiple wind turbines without obstruction.
Since these specific environmental and geographical conditions cannot be satisfied everywhere,wind energy farms can only be established at selected locations.
