An advanced modeling system for optimization of wind farm layout and wind turbine sizing using a multi-level extended pattern search algorithm

In this work. a collection of modeling advances was employed within an EPS-MAS wind farm optimization algorithm to help approach real-world applicability in resulting turbine layouts and turbine geometries. These modelsdincluding an extrapolation of the NRELWind Cost and Scaling Model and means to accommodate both partial wake interaction and wind …

Multi-Criteria Applications in Renewable Energy Analysis. a Literature Review

In general. evaluating energy systems is a complex analysis that can be defined as a multi-dimensional space of different indicators and objectives. The use of multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) techniques provides a reliable methodology to rank alternative renewable energy resources. technologies and projects in the presence of different objectives and …
