Wind turbine micrositing by using the firefly algorithm
This paper demonstrates that the recently discovered firefly algorithm is a better technique for the optimization of large wind farms. It compares the firefly algorithm with the genetic algorithms or by the use of spread sheet methods such as finite difference method. It demonstrates the higher power derived and the lower cost of power produced by using the FA. This paper demonstrates that the firefly algorithm outperforms the genetic algorithms and finite difference method by a wide margin.
