Brook lead the Environment Institute, and thinks that Australia will be the first country to adopt […]

A recent study, followed by the development of a software could clear out all the issues of wind turbine placement, so they don't interfere with each other and still occupy as little space as possible. The new approach is based on evolutionary algorithms developed by Dr. Frank Neumann, from the University of Adelaide.
