Wind Farm Optimization with Monte Carlo Methods — •Klaus Nagl and Ingo Morgenstern — Universität Regensburg

We determine the optimal layout of the turbines inside a wind farm, taking the wake effects into account. We show the differences between the N.O Jensen and the Larsen Wake Models.

For this purpose we use a simulated annealing algorithm adapted to this specific problem. Two different objective functions are considered: the Annual Energy Production and the Profit, which lead to different optima. A detailed analysis is presented to help determining the best objective function to choose in each case.
