The impact of topology of wind farms on the production of electric energy

Optimisation of the method of arrangement of the generating units in the wind farm significantly affects an increase in electric energy production. The paper defines the limitations and the impact of various factors on the energy efficiency of wind farms. The paper also presents the overview of methods applied in calculating the impact of turbulence on the efficiency of the wind farm. The use of the kinematic models is described based on an example and the presently applied mathematical models are characterised.
