#' A package to optimize small wind farms with irregular shapes
#' using a genetic algorithm. It requires a fixed amount of turbines, a fixed
#' rotor radius and an average wind speed value for each incoming wind
#' direction. A terrain effect model can be included which downloads a digital
#' elevation model and a Corine Land Cover raster to approximate surface
#' roughness. Further information can be found at the description of the
#' function \code{\link{windfarmGA}}.
