FWIW, I know that Vestas has a department with a super computer dedicated to helping their customers choose optimal positions. And I also know of some recently commissioned large wind farms where the company behind explicitly mentioned wake optimizations. All the big turbine manufacturers are in an optimization race.

That's interesting to know. I didn't know that turbine manufactures are that state of the art. I mostly thought they are just building some sort of standard turbines and deploying it to different places like building houses. Evidently I'm mistaken. Perhaps I should investigate this area a bit further...
