Study on Optimization of Wind Farm Micro-Layout

In the case of wind energy resources identified, wind farm micro-layout mainly involves the arrangement of the wind turbines including to define the number of the turbines and the space between them. In this paper, such impact factors on the wind farm micro-layout as topography, geomorphology, turbulence, wake and economic features of the wind farm are analyzed, and the model for optimization of the wind farm micro-layout is established to maximize the economic benefits in power generation of the wind farm. Also, a case study shows that this model is applicable.
