Abstract

To meet increased demand in energy while reducing greenhouse gas emissions different renewable energy technologies are used. The wind power provides potential benefits as it is a clean, renewable, economic and domestically available power source. Building of sustainable wind farm is subject on many different factors. The aim of the paper is to contribute optimal turbines placement and integration to the electrical grid. For the goal, a mixed-integer non-linear optimization model for determination of maximum wind farm capacity is defined. Another linear optimization model is used to determine the minimum distance of wind turbines in the farm to the point of common coupling. The proposed approach is tested numerically for particular wind turbines type and given wind farm area. The testing results demonstrate the applicability of the proposed optimization models for determination of maximum wind farm capacity and minimum distance between wind farm and point of common coupling.
