. Nowadays, the weight of the generation of
renewable energies has grown spectacularly with regard to
other conventional energies. This is due to diverse factors: a
bigger environmental concern (Kyoto protocol, white-book in
EU, etc.), the raising prices of the traditional fuels, etc. On the
other hand, wind power has experienced a bigger grown, among
the renewable energies. That is why the development of an
effective tool for the design and lay-out of wind farms has a
special relevance.
This paper present a mix of evolutionary algorithms to look for
the optimum integral design of the wind park taking into
account all the part involved: number of wind generators, the
type and the height of the wind generators, its location, the
number and location of substations, the best layout of lowvoltage and high-voltage lines among wind generators,
substations and the existing transmission lines, etc.
Due to problem complexity, and as a first approach, the global
optimization problem has been splitted in two main (uncoupled)
parts, first the wind generators lay out and then the network
