Posters

Come meet the poster presenters to ask them questions and discuss their work

We would like to invite you to come and see the posters at our upcoming conference. The posters will showcase a diverse range of research topics and provide an opportunity for delegates to engage with the authors and learn more about their work. Whether you are a seasoned researcher or simply curious about the latest developments in your field, we believe that the posters will offer something of interest to everyone. So please, join us at the conference and take advantage of this opportunity to learn and engage with your peers in the academic community. We look forward to seeing you there!

PO028: Optimizing the Biggest Wind Farms in the World

Julian Quick, Research Assistant, University of Colorado Boulder

Abstract

Wind power plants and wind turbines are rapidly increasing in scale. Most wind energy power plants yield significantly less power than possible because of the wake effect. As wind farms are becoming larger, the positions of larger numbers of wind turbines are being optimized. This study examines the timing and performance of different optimization approaches for an enormous wind farm with over 500 wind turbines, using the open-source TOPFARM framework.
