This paper proposes an analysis of the current regulatory framework for collective self-consumption in Spain. This regulatory framework proposes a model based on constant distribution coefficients for the allocation of self-consumed energy, as well as a constant distribution for the allocation...

Metaheuristic methods are commonly used in the optimization of wind farms by means of turbine micro-siting. The typical pattern search used by these methods to explore the solution space makes it necessary to repeatedly evaluate the objective function (and hence the annual energy produced by the...

The classical operation strategy of wind farms seeks each wind turbine to convert as much aerodynamic power as available from the incoming airflow. But this does not warranty that the power converted by the whole wind farm be a maximum due to the interaction between turbines (wake effect)....

This paper presents a review of the current state of the art solutions to the problem of wind farm optimal design. The aim of this work is to present the problem by identifying the most relevant issues involved in the design of a wind farm, as well as to discuss the optimization techniques and...

This paper presents a wind-resource atlas of Venezuela based on wind observations recorded from on-site meteorological stations. Meteorological datasets of 32 weather stations located over northern Venezuela are used in the development of the maps of three main regions in Venezuela: West,...
