Wind energy is a fast evolving field that has attracted a lot of attention and investments in the
last decades. Being an increasingly competitive market, it is very important to minimize …

This work studies the power density (PD) optimization in wind farms, and its sensitivity to the
available area size. A novel genetic algorithm (PDGA) is introduced, which optimizes PD …

In traditional wind farm planning, the design of wind turbine locations and cable layouts is
usually undertaken sequentially. However, this approach may potentially result in …

We address a very important problem in offshore wind farm design, namely, the combined
optimization of the turbine location and of the connection cables required to bring the …

In recent years, wind farm layout optimization (WFLO) has been extendedly developed to
address the minimization of turbine wake effects in a wind farm. Considering that increasing …

Abstract The Wind Farm Cable Routing problem plays a key role in offshore wind farm
design. Given the positions of turbines and substation in a wind farm and a set of electrical …

Distribution utilities aim to operate and plan their network in a secure and economical way.
The prime focus of this work is to assist utilities by developing a new integrated approach …

As the number of turbines in offshore wind farms increases, so does the complexity of cable
routing optimisation problems. Optimising the collector network is a crucial task for …

This work addresses the wind farm (WF) optimization layout considering several substations.
It is given a set of wind turbines jointly with a set of substations, and the goal is to obtain the …

Designing an onshore wind farm is a complex planning process that requires various stages
to be completed. The prime focus of this work is to assist planners and experts in finding the …
