RAMIREZ RAMIREZ, Juan David; GARCES RUIZ, Alejandro  and  ARRIETA GIRALDO, Jose Santiago. Optimal Distribution of Wind Farm Turbines Using PSO Considering the Wake Effect. Tecnura [online]. 2016, vol.20, n.47, pp.49-55. ISSN 0123-921X.  https://doi.org/10.14483/udistrital.jour.tecnura.2016.1.a04.

This paper proposes a novel algorithm based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) for optimal placement of the turbines in a wind farm. Wake effect is considered for different directions and magnitudes of wind speeds according to a given compass rose. Likewise, energy optimization for a proposed case is shown which takes into account constraints related to distances between the turbines, the wind farm area and the wake effect. Simulation results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

Keywords : Compass rose; Metaheuristic; Optimization; Power systems; Wake effect; Wind farm.
