Wind-Abilities: A Mixed-Use Model for Thoughtful Wind Farm Design
Globally, wind power is leading the renewable energy revolution. While carbon neutral and cost-effective, wind energy infrastructure is immobile and has the potential to profoundly change land use and the visible landscape. As wind technology takes its place as a key contributor to the US energy …

Conceptual Design of Wind Farms Through Novel Multi-Objective Swarm Optimization
<p>Wind is one of the major sources of clean and renewable energy, and global wind energy has been experiencing a steady annual growth rate of more than 20% over the past decade. In the U.S. energy market, although wind energy is one of the fastest increasing sources of electricity generation (by …

The effect of dynamic operation and incoming flow on the wake of a utility-scale wind turbine
Wind turbine wakes, the regions of slower and more turbulent air behind turbines, lead to power losses up to 40% and increased structural loading on downwind turbines within a wind farm. To mitigate these detrimental effects, improved understanding of wake behavior is required. However, modeling …

Formulations and methods for wind farm layout optimization
The use of wind energy in electricity generation around the world has increased steadily over the past few years as the world seeks to reduce the use of fossil fuels in response to concerns over climate change and air pollution. Utility scale wind power is generated at large wind farms with as many …

Decomposition-based, complementarity models for renewable energy generation system design optimization
With the development of modern technologies, the design community nowadays often faces engineering systems too complex to be addressed by a single design team. In order to solve such design problems, a common approach is to divide a complex system into coupled, yet smaller subsystems manageable by …
