...Puyi Yang; Hamidreza Najafi The wind farm layout optimization (WFLO) problem is a complex and nonconvex optimization problem. Even though many different heuristic algorithms and mathematical programming methods have been tested and discussed, there is no consensus about which algorithm is the most...

...Puyi Yang; Hamidreza Najafi The accuracy of analytical wake models applied in wind farm layout optimization (WFLO) problems is of great significance as the high-fidelity methods such as large eddy simulation (LES) and Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) are still not able to handle...
