Abstract
The configuration of a wind farm depends mainly on the wind potential and the disposition of the wind turbines in this
park. The windiest site is the most favorable for a future installation of wind turbines for the production of electricity, also,
in this same site, a too dense arrangement would lead to considerable of power losses under the effect of wake. In this
context, it is presented a research work that consists of determining the installation conditions of a wind farm; evaluating
the wind farm through measurements of wind speed and the location of wind turbines in the park to minimize the
effect of wind turbine interference. In order to do this, an evaluation study of the wind potential for the implementation
of a wind farm based on the quantification of the wind in speed and directions firstly proposed. Secondly, a method for
optimizing the positioning of wind turbines in a wind power farm is used based on the introduction of the Jensen wake
model and the application of the iterative pseudo-random distribution approach of the turbines in the site. Simulation
results are presented and discussed using data from the Kaberten site in Algeria and the characteristics of the GAMESA
G52 wind turbine.
