Abstract

The design of large wind power plants, in the MW range, 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 recursive quadratic programming (RQP), is used to predict design parameters. Numerical results are presented for a number of operating load factors for a 2. 5-MW horizontal-axis wind turbine power plant. Though the results presented pertain to a wind power plant without storage, the design approach is general enough to be applicable to wind power plants with storage.
