Unlike a traditional generator, a DFIG is fed with electrical power on both the rotor and stator sides, allowing for two-way power flow.

Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity.

Wind turbines work on a very simple principle: the wind turns the blades, which causes the axis to rotate, which is attached to a generator, which produces electricity (typically variable-frequency AC, which is then converted via power electronics/inverters so it can be used.

In this study, a wind farm layout is optimized in order to maximize the annual energy production (AEP) in a non-uniform wind resource site. The problem is constrained by the minimum distance between wind turbines and five irregular polygon boundaries, defined as inclusion zones.
