Abstract
This paper presents a mini-review of the main works recently published about optimal wind turbines layout in wind farms. Specifically, we focus on discussing articles where evolutionary computation techniques have been applied, since this computational framework has obtained very good results in different formulations of the problem. A summary of the main concepts needed to face the problem are also included in the article, such as a basic wake model and several cost models and objective functions previously used in the literature. This review includes works published in the most significant journals and international conferences, and it gives a brief remark of the optimization models proposed and the implemented algorithms, so it can be useful for readers who want to be quickly introduced in this research area.
