A Review of Wind Farm Layout Optimization Techniques for Optimal Placement of Wind Turbines

NAGARAJA RAO SULAKE, Pranupa S, Sriram A T

Abstract


In this paper, different optimization techniques for Wind Farm Layout Optimization (WFLO) are reviewed for the optimal placement of wind turbines. After reviewing the recent approaches, the most important considerations for the WFLO work are outlined, and the future objectives are mentioned. Wind is inexpensive, and renewable source of electricity. Wind energy seems to have the ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow down climate change. Wind energy lowers dependency on depletable, non-renewable energy sources like fossil fuels. Generation of wind energy is affected by the presence of wind. Wind turbines requires a lot of space, that can cause problems for people who do not want large wind farms next to their homes and for the safety of wildlife and environment. Researchers are attempting to find solutions to problems with wind farms like WFLO and the best locations for wind turbines in terms of cost and power output. Different optimization techniques have been discovered and proposed for the identified objectives.
