An important phase of a wind farm design is solving the Wind Farm Layout Optimization Problem (WFLOP), which consists in optimally positioning the turbines within the wind farm so that the wake effects are minimized and therefore the expected power production maximized. Although this problem has...

This paper presents a real options-based techno-economic analysis of a hydrogen-based wind energy storage system (H2-WESS) deployed adjacent to a nearshore wind farm in northern Germany. The H2-WESS can be used to produce and store hydrogen when feed-in management takes place, in order to avoid...

This paper evaluates the economic benefits to over-installing turbines on wind farm sites in order to capture more energy at low wind speeds. Although this implies curtailment at high wind speeds, we show that oversizing generation facilities can increase returns to investors and reduce system...

An evolutionary programming approach is used for the techno-economic analysis of a wind farm coupled with a pumped storage facility. The optimal day-ahead generating schedule is considered. Wind forecasts contain an element of random error, and several methods of addressing this uncertainty in...
