Massive simplification of the wind farm layout optimization problem

Abstract: Abstract. The wind farm layout optimization problem is notoriously difficult to solve because of the large number of design variables and extreme multimodality of the design space. Because of the multimodality of the space and the often discontinuous models used in wind farm modeling, the wind industry is heavily dependent on gradient-free techniques for wind farm layout optimization. Unfortunately, the computational expense required with these methods scales poorly with increasing numbers of variables. Thus, … Show more

“…Despite this, little work has been done to limit solutions to OWFs with evenly distributed turbines [15][16][17][18], which is a solution that is increasingly being adopted by designers of real OWFs. Among them, parallelogram-shaped wind farms are a particular and frequent case.…”

“…Feng in [17] uses a parallelogram shape solution in a first stage of the WFOP to deduce the best orientation and shape of the OWF, before performing the complete layout optimization. Finally, Stanley in [18] uses five parameters to define the solutions bounded in a concession area with the benefit of reducing the computational expense. For other renewable sources, a continuous exploration of the position and orientation of a solar array is presented in [19].…”

“…The balance of station (BOS) cost model (per kilowatt of installed wind power plant capacity) as a function of the total power plant capacity (Key et al, 2020). cost, which we assumed is USD 829 kW −1 of plant capacity (Wiser et al, 2020); O&M is the operation and maintenance cost, which we assumed is USD 44 kW −1 of plant capacity per year (Stehly and Beiter, 2020); and BOS is the balance of station cost. For this paper, we created a simple relation of BOS costs as a function of the installed wind power plant capacity from a set of higher fidelity BOS cost data (Key et al, 2020).…”
