Abstract
This chapter addresses the optimization of offshore wind farm layouts to maximize annual energy production while minimizing wake losses. We formulate the layout problem as a mixed-integer nonlinear program and solve it using a hybrid genetic algorithm combined with computational fluid dynamics wake modeling. Results for North Sea case studies demonstrate 12-18% improvement over baseline designs.
