Realistic Wind Farm Layout Optimization through Genetic Algorithms Using a Gaussian Wake Model

Wind Farm Layout Optimization (WFLO) can be useful to minimize power losses associated with turbine wakes in wind farms. This work presents a new evolutionary WFLO methodology integrated with a recently developed and successfully validated Gaussian wake model (Bastankhah and Porté-Agel mode...
