Wind farm BoP

The Journey Begins Here

Building a wind farm doesn’t necessarily need to be a long and exhausting process. On this site I try to tell what works (and what does not work) in the development and construction of wind farms

This is how it all started…

Many years ago, I had the opportunity to switch from the sector I was working in (infrastructure design) to renewables.
It seemed like an extremely interesting world to me, and I decided to start writing a blog to report on what I was discovering and what I found most interesting.
15+ years later the website is still up and running.

A lot has happened in the meantime – for example, three children have arrived, making it increasingly difficult to find the time to update it.
I hope you will excuse me if I am unable to write often. Of course if you feel like collaborating and sharing content you are welcome!
Happy reading, Francesco

    Internal roads optimization: an update

    These vacation days I am managing to find time to work on my “automatic wind farm optimization” project.Yesterday I managed to add a new feature to the optimization of wind farm internal roads.In the new version, the algorithm is also able to consider existing roads and “no-go-areas” (areas that cannot be used due to environmental…

    Wind farm internal roads optimization

    In parallel with the optimization of crane pads (you can find the article on the topic here) I am also trying to automate the calculation of wind farm internal roads. At the moment I have developed three solutions: the first joins the turbines looking for the minimum spanning tree (MST), i.e., the shortest possible connection….
