In the present research, a new viral based optimization algorithm is used to find the optimal solution to wind turbine placement problems considering constant wind speed and unidirectional uniform wind. In this study, a MATLAB based program is developed to search the optimal number and position of wind turbines in large wind farms with the objective of minimizing the total cost per unit of power produced from the wind park. The results obtained by the proposed algorithm are compared with results from previous studies
