Abstract

This paper presents a review of the current state of the art solutions to the problem of wind farm optimal design. The aim of this work is to present the problem by identifying the most relevant issues involved in the design of a wind farm, as well as to discuss the optimization techniques and wind farm models used in the published literature.
