In this paper, we propose a novel technique to determine the optimal placement of wind farms, thereby taking into account wind characteristics and electrical grid constraints. We model the long-term variability of wind speed using a Weibull distribution according to wind direction intervals, and formulate the metrics that capture wind speed characteristics at a specific location, namely the arithmetic mean of wind speed, the theoretical wind power density and the capacity factor of a prospective wind power plant, to determine the feasibility of a wind power plant establishment. Furthermore, a linear optimization formulation is provided to determine the geographical locations and the installed capacities of wind farms, in order to maximize the expected annual wind power generation, while obeying the constraints from the electrical power grid and the transmission system operator. As a case study, the proposed wind speed model and the linear optimization formulation are used to evaluate the wind characteristics and the potential wind farm sites in Turkey.

New strategy for optimization of output power of a DFIG wind turbine
Abedinzadeh, Taller; Ehsan, Mehdi; Afsharirad, Hadi; Nazaraliloo, Mohammad (2011-09-10)
This paper presents a method to maximize the output power of a DFIG wind turbine. In this method, an optimization technique based on mathematical analysis has been used. The modeling of DFIG is performed using MATLAB.
Experimental study on power curtailment of three in-line turbines
Bartl, Jan; Ostovan, Yasar; Uzol, Oğuz; Saetran, Lars (Elsevier BV; Elsevier BV; 2017-01-20)
A dataset of wind tunnel power and wake flow measurements on a setup of three aligned model wind turbines is presented. The power outputs of the three turbines are in good agreement with measurements from a full-scale wind farm of similar inter-turbine spacing. A comparison of the wake flow behind the first row and the second row shows a significantly higher mean velocity loss behind the second row justifying a further power drop from the second to the third row turbine. Curtailing the front row turbine to ...
Offshore wind farm site selection for Aegean and Mediterranean Sea, Turkey
Yıldız, Hatice Kübra; Oğuz, Elif; Huvaj Sarıhan, Nejan; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-8-26)
This thesis was focused on investigating potential sites in the Aegean and Mediterranean Sea for offshore wind turbines considering a number of criteria such as water depth, wind speed, grid connectivity, etc. Prior to that, all major floating offshore wind turbine installations in Europe and across the World were reviewed. The current status of the offshore wind industry in terms of technology and supporting mechanisms were summarized. Following this, potential sites were mapped using collected data from a...
Wind resource assessment and wind farm modeling in complex terrain : Bodrum peninsula case study using computational fluid dynamics
Özdede, Semih; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2013)
Wind Resource Assessment studies have become remarkable research tool to determine the possible Wind Farm locations in last two decades. Wind Farm Modeling is essential to pinpoint the wind turbines in selected region by simulating the possible layout designs of Wind Farm in advance. These studies provide improvements in cost efficiency and Annual Energy Production with the aid of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). In this study, the methodologies of Wind Resource Assessment and Wind Farm Modeling are exam...
Future Electrical Generator Technologies for Offshore Wind Turbines
Keysan, Ozan (2015-01-01)
In this article, different electric generator topologies for offshore wind turbines will be reviewed. Although, the most common generator type used in the onshore wind turbines is the doubly-fed induction generator, different generator designs are proposed for large offshore wind turbines, which operate in harsher conditions and are difficult to maintain. Some of these designs are direct-drive permanent magnet generators, hydraulic power take-off systems and superconducting generators.
