Economic Optimization of Offshore Wind Farms Using the Geometric Algorithm
Year: 2024
Type: dissertation
Abstract: The research project related to this thesis focuses on the optimization of electrical systems for offshore wind farms for a given capacity. The optimal design and planning is a critical issue for developing cost effectively Offshore Wind Farms in energy systems. The Geometric Optimization Algorithms approach has been adopted to develop an optimization program, where the main components of the electrical system of an offshore wind farm and key technical specifications are used as parameters to be optimized for a minimum cost with necessary constraints. The effectiveness of the optimization program can be evaluated with real-time comparison between offshore wind farms and the obtained optimized results from this research. It is expected that the project will produce an effective and efficient optimization platform and create valuable knowledge for the optimal planning and design of a large number of offshore wind farm. Information regarding the background and the motivation for the current research on is provided.
