Daniel Lückehe presents different approaches to optimize locations of multiple wind turbines on
a topographical map. The author succeeds in significantly improving placement solutions by
employing optimization heuristics. He proposes various real-world scenarios that represent real
planning situations. Advanced evolutionary heuristics for the turbine placement optimization
create not only highly optimized solutions but also significantly different solutions to give
decision-makers optimal choices. As a matter of fact wind turbines play an important role
towards green energy supply. An optimal location is essential to achieve the highest possible
energy efficiency.
