Abstract
In this paper we present a novel evolutionary algorithm for optimal positioning of wind turbines in wind farms. We consider a realistic model for the wind farm, which includes orography, shape of the wind farm, simulation of the wind speed and direction, and costs of installation, connection and road construction among wind turbines. Several experiments show that the proposed evolutionary approach obtains very good solutions which maximize power production, and takes into account the different constraints of the problem.
