摘要:Wind is a clean source of energy which is spread over wide globe regions. This natural source of energy encouragesthe planners and stakeholders establishing investments towards installation of wind farms. Wind energy expertsare looking through efcient alternatives for the best utilization of the wind energy. Design of wind farms is a fundamental stage of wind energy projects. This study aims to address this issue by considering wind farm design toreduce the levelized cost of the generated wind energy. In the frst part of the paper, an analysis of previous researchworks is carried out to fnd the latest advancements concerning the design of the wind farm layouts. In the nextstep, a real application, geo-located in Iran, investigates the effect of different layouts for the wind turbines. A costapproach based on the net present value (NPV) and the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) is used. The results showthe optimum positioning of the wind turbines within the site to minimize interferences among the blades maximizing the economic return on the investment.
