Abstract

The design of large wind power plants is formulated as a constrained nonlinear programming problem so as to minimize the cost of energy produced. A horizontal axis wind turbine is assumed but the approach is general enough to be applicable to other designs of wind turbines. Similarly the results presented are restricted to a wind power plant without storage but the design approach can be easily modified to include the cost of storage batteries. A powerful optimization method termed as recursive quadratic programming technique is used to predict the optimum dimensions.
