Fuzzy based computational efficiency for optimal wind farm layout design

This paper deals with the topic of optimal wind farm layout design on complex terrains. The paper proposes optimization model that reflects the actual requirements of realistic wind farms. Fuzzy based computational efficiency model is proposed. Computational efficiency model takes account of environmental impact of a wind farm, land costs, costs of auxiliary roads, installation and maintenance costs, costs of electrical infrastructure, etc. Fuzzy logic deals with uncertainties that can occur while quantifying computational efficiency. Using genetic algorithm, the proposed model has been tested on a realistic wind farm terrain in Serbia.
