This work proposes an optimization model for the design of wind farms collector networks, in order to minimize construction and losses costs over a planning horizon. A model found in the literature is reproduced and improved by additional contributions made in this work. The results analysis shows that competent solutions are obtained and that additional savings are achieved by using the proposed model. Resumo: Este trabalho propõe um modelo de otimização para o projeto de redes coletoras de parques eólicos, com o objetivo de minimizar os custos de construção e de perdas ao longo de um horizonte de planejamento. Um modelo encontrado na literatura é reproduzido e aprimorado a partir de contribuições feitas neste trabalho. A análise dos resultados mostra que soluções competentes são obtidas e que economia adicional é alcançada com o uso do modelo proposto.
