description -There is growing interest in developing wind farms around the world, especially in those countries which are blessed with abundant wind resources. However, it is a bit of a challenge in the UAE, which is interested in tapping the vast potential of wind power but has limited wind resources. It is believed that there is always room for improving the efficiency of windfarms (WF) through more effective wind harvesting strategies and reducing the fatigue loads on the turbines. The overall aim of this research is to optimize the power generation of a WF in the UAE in order to maximize the energy output. A relatively new WF was proposed to be built in Sir Bani Yas Island in the UAE. This project was chosen to act as the main case configuration for this research. Four configuration parameters were proposed and assessed as follows: (1) inserting smaller turbines between the original larger main turbines; (2) changing the spacing between the turbines; (3) substituting new higher efficiency turbines in place of the existing ones. Through using the WindFarm simulation software, the impact of these four strategies was analyzed and calculated. The main finding of this research indicates that introducing more efficient WT units has a great impact in that it can increase output by 24.5 %. In addition, wider spacing between rows can help to achieve a better performance.
