Possible application of quantum computing in the field of ocean engineering: optimization of an offshore wind farm layout with the Ising model

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: As a possible application of quantum computing in the field of ocean engineering, an attempt is made to identify the optimum layout of an offshore wind farm with the quasi-quantum annealing method while assuming a wake model that conforms to the standard Jensen–Katic wake model but can be implemented in the Ising model. The optimum layouts obtained in the present study are compared with those identified with other conventional methods such as the genetic algorithm. It is confirmed that the quasi-quantum annealing method works as well as other methods in identifying the optimum layouts, while the optimum layout of an offshore wind farm composed of even more than 100 wind turbines can be identified with reasonable CPU time.
