Systemic optimal design of wind energy generator based on combined analytical-finite element method using genetic algorithms

Abstract

This work deals with optimal systemic design of wind energy generator based on an Integrated Optimal Design (IOD) methodology of a full passive wind turbine system. The originality of the study resides in the use of DC model of wind turbine the make the integration of this model to Genetics Algorithms method possible. The optimization problem concerns the association of the DC model of the wind turbine with a developed Genetics Algorithms to optimize conjointly the global power system mass and total power system energy losses with several constraints. The generator is designed by analytical method validated by finite element method.
