Speeding up large-wind-farm layout optimization using gradients, parallelization, and a heuristic algorithm for the initial layout

<p>As the use of wind energy expands worldwide, the wind energy industry is considering building larger clusters of turbines. Existing computational methods to design and optimize the layout of wind farms are well suited for medium-sized plants; however, these approaches need to be improved to...
