Assessment of Offshore Wind Resources, Based on Improved Particle Swarm Optimization

Abstract

It is crucial to understand the characteristics of wind resources and optimize wind resources in the area that is being considered for offshore wind farm development. Based on the improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) and the back propagation neural network (BPNN), the IPSO-BP hybrid intelligent algorithm model was established. The assessment of wind resource characteristics in the eastern waters of China, including average wind speed, extreme wind speed, wind power density, effective wind energy hours and wind direction distribution were all calculated. Additionally, the wind speed throughout the different years in Luchao Port, a famous seaport in China, was predicted. The results revealed that the wind power density is approximately 300 W/m2 all year round and that the effective wind energy hours take up about 92% per hour. It was also identified that the wind direction distribution is stable in Luchao Port, implying that there are better wind energy resource reserves in this region. The IPSO-BP model has a strong tracking performance for wind speed changes, and can accurately predict the wind speed change in a short period. In addition, the prediction error of the IPSO-BP model is smaller when the time of training data is closer to the target one, and it can be controlled within a 5% range.

Point spread function engineering based on wavefront phase modulation

“…Finally, the parameters of the phase mask need to be optimized based on the consistency of PSF and OTF to aberrations. Commonly used optimization methods include simulated annealing 74 , particle swarm optimization 105 and genetic algorithm 68,101 . During the optimization process, it is necessary to constrain the minimum value of the Strehl ratio or MTF to prevent the reduction of the restorability of intermediate image caused by over-optimization.…”

Prediction and comparative analysis of friction material properties using a GA-SVM optimization model

“…In addition, the recovery performance is better compared to glass fiber friction material. Therefore, carbon fiber composites are widely used in aerospace and highend automotive applications (Zhang et al, 2023a(Zhang et al, , 2023b. It plays a key role in maintaining the brake material strength, thermal stability and friction performance prediction (Lin et al, 2021;Bukovsky et al, 2020;Shi et al, 2021).…”

“…To improve efficiency and reduce experimental cost, researchers have established different models in material property prediction to achieve accurate prediction results (Zhang et al, 2023a(Zhang et al, , 2023bZhang et al, 2019). Singh et al (2023) built the FC model of different parameters based on artificial neural network (ANN), and it is able to present a better prediction performance with the increase of sliding frequency and temperature as well as the decrease of FC.…”
