Wind farm design is a multifaceted process that involves numerous steps, each with its own set of objectives and constraints. This complexity becomes even more pronounced in large-scale projects, particularly offshore, where design iterations occur throughout various stages of the project life cycle. In the early stages, critical information such as asset details and wind resource data may be limited. However, as the project progresses, valuable data including geotechnical information, measured wind distributions, and cost estimates from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) become available.
Additionally, constraints established during tender phases, such as environmental and alignment factors, further shape the design considerations. Regardless of the project stage, optimizing the layout of wind farms remains paramount. It directly influences the future performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of the entire park.
