Numerical Optimization of Wind Farm Layout and Control Strategy [thesis]

Longyan Wang
Due to the depletion of traditional energy sources of fossil fuels and their pollutions on the environment, the study of wind energy as an alternative to produce electricity has attracted extensive attention in the last few decades. This is achieved by wind turbines which are grouped in clusters to form a wind farm. However, the wake interactions of wind turbines in the wind farm can result in significant power losses. These great power losses not only affect the economic return of wind farm
