In the wind industry, power prediction of wind farm is commonly implemented by analytical
wake models, which is low-cost but insufficient in accuracy for high-turbulent wake …

Wind development creates a range of economic impacts at different territorial scales and
sectors, one of which is the local sector at the rural level. Yet few studies make an in-depth …

Recent years have witnessed an enormous growth of wind farm capacity worldwide. Due to
the wake effect, the velocity of incoming wind is reduced for the wind turbines in the …

The objective of this study is to assess the effect of hub height optimization on the Annual
Energy Production (AEP) of a wind farm. The only optimization variable is the hub height of …

Scientists have reported that plant leaf veins grow into an optimized architecture not only to
accomplish their biological and physiological functions but also to sustain the environmental …

Unsuitable wind farm layout design influences wind energy conversion efficiency as well as
wind farm noise radiation. In the past, more attentions were paid on high energy efficiency …

In addressing the multi-criteria Wind Farm Layout Optimization (WFLO) problem, the
literature has been focused on the simple weighted sum approach using single-objective …

This paper reveals the non-technical elements that affect construction project costs, known
as soft cost elements (SCEs). These elusive elements have received little attention although …

The optimal design of a wind farm which maximizes energy production depends on the
spatially variable wind flow field. However, due to the complexity associated with modeling …

A novel aerodynamic-whistle-based ultrasonic tone generator is proposed that has the
potential to serve as a bat deterrent when installed on wind turbine rotor blades. The device …
