Method for constructing a wind farm in a predetermined space

A method for constructing a wind farm in a space from a predefined number of wind turbines, the method comprising a first discrete wind speed distribution, a second discrete wind speed distribution and a probability of occurrence of a discrete wind speed for a wind direction of each of the first and second discrete wind speed distributions, the space being split into a first discrete grid, comprising steps:

• a) determining a first arrangement of the wind turbines in the first discrete grid of the space by a first positioning algorithm;
• b) defining a sequential order of modification of wind turbine positions determined by the first positioning algorithm, then carrying out steps iteratively, for at least one wind turbine to be repositioned, one by one, in a defined sequential order:
• b1) determining, for each wind turbine to be repositioned, new possible discrete positions of the turbine to be repositioned, by developing a grid of at least a first predefined length, the grid being centered on the position of the turbine to be repositioned, the grid being split into a pre-established number of cells, the new possible discrete positions comprising points of intersection of the cells, points of intersection of the cells being positioned in the space and at a minimum distance spaced from positions of other wind turbines;
• b2) calculating an average annual energy production of the predefined number of wind turbines for each possible discrete position of the wind turbine to be repositioned, from the first discrete wind speed distribution, the second discrete wind speed distribution and the probability of occurrence of each discrete wind speed distribution;
• b3) selecting the position of the wind turbine to be repositioned corresponding to a maximum value of an annual energy production calculated in step b2);
• b4) defining a new arrangement for the wind turbines at the space;
• and
• c) determining a final position corresponding to a last arrangement obtained, and constructing the wind farm by erecting the wind turbines in the positions of the final arrangement in the site of the space to generate energy from the wind.
