After several years pondering the possibility, I finally decided to try to build an app that automatically optimizes the BoP of wind farms.
So, with the help of relatives who kept their children busy during the Christmas vacations and Claud.ia (Anthropic’s artificial intelligence) I began to complete the various elements.
The idea is to solve one by one all the problems that arise when designing the civil works of a wind farm.
In practice, there are a number of technical constraints (e.g., the maximum slope of internal roads, or the maximum current that can be carried by a medium-voltage cable) and environmental constraints (e.g., areas that cannot be used, perhaps because of environmental constraints or because one does not own the rights).
Once all constraints are considered, the goal becomes to minimize a cost function, since wind farm developers will likely want to minimize their CapEx.
In the coming days I will try to explain in more detail how the various elements work. In the meantime you can find an almost working version online here:
Merry Christmas to all!
See you in the next post…
