Figure: windfarmGA.png A package to optimize small wind farms with irregular shapes using a genetic algorithm. It requires a fixed amount of turbines, a fixed rotor radius and an average wind speed value for each incoming wind direction. A terrain effect model can be included which downloads a digital elevation model and a Corine Land Cover raster to approximate surface roughness. Further information can be found at the description of the function genetic_algorithm.
