Optimization Approach for Wind Farm Cable Layout Based on Iterative Self-Organizing Data Analysis Technique Algorithm and Swap Sequence Based Particle Swarm Algorithms
Abstract:In the fast evolving and increasingly competitive wind energy market, to minimize initial capex and maximize production profits are essential when designing a wind farm. The electrical cable accounts for around 10% of the total capex, reasonable layout of cable connections might induce significant reduction of electrical and construction cost. In this paper, the Fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering algorithm is adopted to determine the location of the substation(s) and the ISODATA (Iterative Self-Organizing Data Ana… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
