Wake expansion continuation: Multi‐modality reduction in the wind farm layout optimization problem

Abstract In this paper we present a continuation optimization method for reducing multi‐modality in the wind farm layout optimization problem that we call wake expansion continuation (WEC). We achieve the reduction in multi‐modality by starting with an increased wake diameter while maintaining norma...
