Abstract

Wind farm micro-siting is to determine the optimal placement for the wind turbines such that the cost of energy (COE) is minimal. The problem is clearly a long-term decision one, once the micro-siting was constructed, it is extremely costly to reconfigure the layout. Long-term electricity demand forecasting is a necessity for formation of governmental energy policy. We anticipate that the two problems should be considered simultaneously to create potential benefits because they have resembling properties and close supply-and-demand relationship. This paper proposes a demand-aware micro-siting system to COE minimization. The system is a holistic integration of long-term electricity demand forecasting and optimal micro-siting. A case study in central Taiwan area is conducted to validate the feasibility of the proposed system.
