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 …

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 …

Optimization and control of wind energy systems for grid integration
Wind energy is a rapidly expanding source of renewable energy, but wind resources are highly intermittent. This makes increasing the level of wind energy penetration in an overall energy portfolio challenging if power quality and grid frequency is to be maintained. In a conventional power system, …

Decomposition-based, complementarity models for renewable energy generation system design optimization
… (HPGS) design optimization and renewable energy farm design optimization. A decomposition-based complementarity model is proposed for HPGS design optimization using deterministic simulation-based reliability analysis. In the proposed model, a reformulation technique is introduced to capture the …

Optimization of Wind Turbine Airfoils/Blades and Wind Farm Layouts
… optimization is widely used in the design of wind turbine blades. In this dissertation, a numerical optimization method called Genetic Algorithm (GA) is applied to address the shape optimization of wind turbine airfoils and blades. In recent years, the airfoil sections with blunt trailing edge …

The spectral characteristics of wind-farm power output
Over time-scales short enough that wind is relatively steady (.10 minutes), wind-power variability is due to atmospheric turbulence. Power fluctuations at time scales such as these are important for maintaining frequency regulation on the power grid. This thesis presents a holistic, physics-based …
