Abstract
The design of a wind power system is formulated as a constrained nonlinear programming problem so as to minimize generation cost. Different variables and constraints are discussed. A powerful constrained method of optimization, termed a Complex method, is used to predict design parameters. Numerical results are presented for a number of operating load factors. Although the results presented pertain to a wind power system without storage, the design approach is equally applicable to systems with storage.
