Abstract
The present work proposes a design procedure for wind farm planning considering location and design of turbines. Our models include power gen- erations, cost, noise generation and the stress applied on blades. Varied en- vironment conditions and local geographic constraints are all integrated in a design optimization formulation. While larger wind turbines generate more electricity, smaller wind tur- bines are cheaper, less noisy and have better stress advantage. Traditional wind farms are homogeneous with identical wind turbines, the formulation in this thesis enables heterogeneity in wind farm design. Results show that using our multi-criteria design framework, local envi- ronment conditions can be used to tailor a more suitable wind farm. For the case of Dajia wind farm, a 7.8% wind energy can be obtained as compared to homogeneous one.
