A new case study describing a wind-farm optimisation challenge solved through the dezineforce solution is now available for download.

Based on the work done by Intelligent Fluid Solutions, a consultancy specialising in resolution of fluids-related design issues, with Althea de Souza, dezineforce senior engineer and an expert in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), the case study demonstrates how advanced optimisation techniques can improve the design of complex installations like wind-farms.

Initially, the case study describes the impact of aerodynamic interaction between individual wind turbines in a wind farm on the total power output of the complete installation. It then goes on to explain how integrated analysis and optimisation workflows available in dezineforce were used to understand the impact of layout on yield for a sample site and identify the number of turbines and the arrangement to maximise a power-cost function.
