Wind turbine layout design has an important impact on the energy production and economic benefits of wind farms. The wind resource grid data include the realistic wind distributions of the wind farm. Combined with the Jensen wake model, it can be used to calculate the net production considering the wake effect of turbines. Based on the wind resource grid data and taking net energy production as the objective function, this paper proposes a random search algorithm for wind turbine layout optimization. The algorithm couples the random function with multiple optimization parameters and optimizes the wind turbine layout by considering restriction conditions of area and minimum turbine spacings. According to the results of the case study in an actual wind farm, the optimization processes using the proposed algorithm have high calculation efficiency and stability. The sensitivity analysis of parameters indicates that the effect of optimization calculation can be effectively improved by appropriately increasing the turbine coordinate searching range or the number of random operations within one single search.
