This course emphasize on optimization applications in wind energy and wind farm design in particular. The course covers fundamental aspects of optimization, including basic theory and algorithms and will then apply those tools to the analysis and design of wind farms.
Objective:Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
1. Understand optimization fundamentals including problem formulation and classification.
2. Formulate architect optimization workflows to address a given problem.
3. Understand key design criteria and basic underlying physics of models used in a wind farm design process.
4. Develop highly simplified models for wind farm physics and perform optimization of simple wind farm case studies using these models.
5. Apply advanced wind farm design tools (i.e. TOPFARM) to the optimization of wind farm design.
