The modelling of wind farm layout optimization for the reduction of wake losses

The objective of the present research is to find out the optimized dimensions of the wind farm area and turbines layout to reduce the overall cost per unit power. The velocity deficits caused by the wakes of each turbine were calculated by using Jensen's wake model. The optimal positions of win...
