Abstract
Many countries invest heavily in wind energy to tackle climate change and secure energy
supplies. It is a clean source and becomes more cost-effective with technological advancement
and increased capacity per unit installed.
Wind energy as a power source is an attractive alternative to fossil fuels. However, wind farms
are typically constructed in undeveloped rural areas with challenging topography. In addition,
the lack of a road network leading to the site and within the site itself poses significant
challenges to the planning of wind farm construction. Therefore, selecting the most appropriate
access road route is essential in the overall planning of wind farm construction.
This paper presents a comprehensive view of the design process and will focus on selecting
access road routes to optimize the general wind farm construction. An integrated framework
for wind farm design is presented, and the problem of optimal access road selection is
highlighted. Finally, a numeric example is shown, including conclusions, limitations, and
suggestions for future research.
