“…This is mainly due to the multidisciplinary nature of the problem. Three review articles on the WFDO problem were identified in the literature [169][170][171]. The present work goes beyond the existing review papers by: (1) performing a deep analysis of the models describing the performance of wind farms and the sub-models describing the adverse factors, presented in Section 2.2; and by (2) identifying and reviewing the most prominent published works on the WFDO problem, with particular emphasis on both their shortcomings and on future research opportunities.…”

“…The NPV is a measure of the excess or shortfall of cash flows, in present value terms, above investments. The general mathematical form of the NPV is given in Equation (14), as proposed by Castro Mora [56] and Gonzá lez et al [135,171,278]:…”

“…New issues regarding the potential conflict of interests (e.g., effects of the presence of nearby projects that are not necessarily wind farms) and the design of multiple wind farms under uncertain conditions have been treated recently [171,308] and are recognized as potential problems that will be more frequent in the near future. However, due to the different scales of such problems, certain assumptions and models (e.g., wind field modeling and wake modeling) may not hold and will require additional research to determine its validity and/or its extension.…”

This article presents a review of the state of the art of the Wind Farm Design and Optimization (WFDO) problem. The WFDO problem refers to a set of advanced planning actions needed to extremize the performance of wind farms, which may be composed of a few individual Wind Turbines (WTs) up to thousands of WTs. The WFDO problem has been investigated in different scenarios, with substantial differences in main objectives, modelling assumptions, constraints, and numerical solution methods. The aim of this paper is: (1) to present an exhaustive survey of the literature covering the full span of the subject, an analysis of the state-of-the-art models describing the performance of wind farms as well as its extensions, and the numerical approaches used to solve the problem; (2) to provide an overview of the available knowledge and recent progress in the application of such strategies to real onshore and offshore wind farms; and (3) to propose a comprehensive agenda for future research.

“…Additionally, some relevant research devoted to sonic anemometers has been carried out at IDR/UPM [35][36][37][38][39]. Although other wind speed sensors such as the aforementioned sonic anemometer, LIDAR, SODAR, and nacelle anemometers, have been thoroughly developed and studied in order to substitute the cup anemometer along the past decades [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59], this old fashioned but robust and reliable instrument (see Figure 1) developed by T.R. Robinson in the 19th century [60][61][62][63], remains the most demanded and used wind sensor for meteorologists and within the wind energy sector.…”

Abstract:In the present work, the research derived from a wide experience on cup anemometer calibration works at IDR/UPM Institute (Instituto Universitario de Microgravedad "Ignacio Da Riva") is summarized. This research started in 2008, analyzing large series of calibrations, and is focused on two main aspects: (1) developing a procedure to predict the degradation level of these wind sensors when working on the field and (2) modeling cup anemometer performances. The wear and tear level of this sensor is evaluated studying the output signal and its main frequencies through Fourier analysis. The modeling of the cup anemometer performances is carried out analyzing first the cup aerodynamics. As a result of this process, carried out through several testing and analytical studies since 2010, a new analytical method has been developed. This methodology might represent an alternative to the classic approach used in the present standards of practice such as IEC 64000-12.

“…In a single-objective optimisation context, the aim in such problems is, typically, to find an optimal allocation of facilities to candidate locations, in order to minimise some objective function that involves transportation costs or delivery times. Research directed towards facility placement according to terrain and environmental factors has also recently become popular [13,14,21,22,25]. The aim in our research has been to develop a generic multi-objective (MO) geographic information systems (GIS)-based facility location framework.…”

A recent development within the MeerKAT sub-project of the Square Kilometre Array radio telescope network was the placement of a network of three observation cameras in pursuit of two specific visibility objectives. In this paper, we evaluate the effectiveness of the locations of the MeerKAT observation camera network according to a novel multi-objective geographic information systems-based facility location framework. We find that the configuration chosen and implemented by the MeerKAT decision-makers is of very high quality, although we are able to uncover slightly superior alternative placement configurations. A significant amount of time and effort could, however, have been saved in the process of choosing the appropriate camera sites, had our solutions been available to the decision-makers. OPSOMMING'n Onlangse ontwikkeling binne die MeerKAT deelprojek van die Vierkante Kilometer Skikking radio teleskoop netwerk was die plasing van 'n netwerk van drie waarnemingskameras volgens twee spesifieke sigbaarheidsdoelstellings. In hierdie artikel evalueer ons die doeltreffendheid van die liggings van hierdie kameranetwerk volgens 'n nuwe, veeldoelige geografiese inligtingstelsel-gebaseerde fasiliteitsplasing raamwerk. Ons vind dat die plasingskonfigurasie wat deur die MeerKAT besluitnemers gekies is, van baie hoë kwaliteit is, alhoewel ons daartoe in staat is om plasingskonfigurasies van effens hoër kwaliteit te bereken. 'n Beduidende hoeveelheid tyd en moeite kon egter gedurende die besluitnemingsproses gespaar gewees het indien ons oplossings aan die besluitnemers beskikbaar was.
