Abstract

In this paper some of the optimized wind turbine layouts in a windfarm, as presented by many authors, have been chosen as basis for further evaluation and study. The objective of most of earlier studies was to minimize cost per kW of power produced. This paper focuses from different perspective of optimization of turbine rotor diameters and hub heights to improve overall windfarm efficiency at a reduced cost. Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm is employed to optimize rotor diameters and hub heights of turbines in a windfarm.
