Optimization of the wind farm layout

In many cases, the energy output of a planned wind farm could be maximised through optimizing the lay-out of the wind farm. This can be achieved without additional load on the wind turbines. The long term experience of aj in the operational behaviour of wind turbines can be used here to elaborate optimized lay-outs which also take into account general requirements such as an elegant appearance, low infrastructure cost etc. Often solutions can be found which lead to a noticeable gain of energy yield for relatively little cost.
