The objective of this research is to make it possible to design wind farms with significantly higher power generation capacity (a 25 to 30 percent increase from existing designs). A comprehensive system of systems approach to wind farm design will be developed which addresses the concomitant pervasive uncertainty through, both mitigation and exploitation. We will build on existing work in the supporting technological areas of wake modeling, wind farm power generation modeling, economics modeling, and optimal design for computationally prohibitive multidisciplinary systems. The major research activities include: (i) optimization, design, and uncertainty propagation; (ii) economic modeling; (iii) development of product family approaches; (iv) developing and parameterizing power output model of wind turbine arrays; and (v) validation of models. Guidelines will be developed that will directly assist engineers, researchers, and investors in their pertinent decision-making.If successful, the unique approach to dealing with the uncertainty-ridden system and the system of system approach being developed here, can enable the scientific community to achieve a new level in addressing our current and future energy requirements. A unique interdisciplinary environment will be provided to students who are motivated by the grand challenge of achieving 20% electric power using wind by 2030, and by the desire to be prepared for green jobs in the context of a rapidly changing economic landscape. Periodic exchange visits by faculty members, graduate and undergraduate students between the two institutions (RPI and SU) will provide the students with unique preparations. A key anticipated benefit of the proposed research is the increased likelihood of reaching our critical goal of having 20% of our electricity come from wind energy by 2030, which is a high national priority.

这项研究的目的是使设计具有更高发电能力的风电场成为可能（比现有设计增加25%至30%）。将开发一个全面的系统的系统方法来设计风电场，通过缓解和开发来解决随之而来的普遍存在的不确定性。我们将建立在现有的工作，在支持技术领域的尾流建模，风电场发电建模，经济建模和优化设计的计算禁止多学科系统。主要研究活动包括：（i）优化，设计和不确定性传播;（ii）经济建模;（iii）产品族方法的开发;（iv）开发和参数化风力涡轮机阵列的功率输出模型;以及（v）模型验证。将制定指导方针，直接帮助工程师，研究人员和投资者进行相关决策。如果成功的话，处理不确定性的系统的独特方法和系统的方法可以使科学界在解决我们当前和未来的能源需求方面达到一个新的水平。一个独特的跨学科的环境将提供给学生谁是由实现2030年使用风力发电20%的巨大挑战，并通过在快速变化的经济格局的背景下准备绿色工作的愿望激励。两个机构（RPI和SU）之间的教师，研究生和本科生定期互访将为学生提供独特的准备。拟议研究的一个关键预期好处是，到2030年实现我们20%的电力来自风能的关键目标的可能性增加，这是国家的一个高度优先事项。
