| Abstract |
With the serious concern for environmental problems, the exploitation of renewable energies isbecoming a need and no longer a choice, offshore wind energy is one of the trends in the renewableenergy market. The exploitation of this energy demands important investment costs that's whyoptimizing the wind farm layout is primordial to make a cost effectiveness during the lifetime of thepark. Otherwise, minimizing the Levelized Cost Of Energy (LCOE) is the key to have the tradeoffbetween wind farm cost and the annual energy delivered to the terrestrial network. For a realisticframework, the wind farm losses must take into account the wake losses between turbines so acalculation tool of wake effect is developed in this paper. |
