EE 364B: Wind Farm Layout Optimization via Sequential Convex Programming
نویسنده
چکیده
In a wind farm, the wakes formed by upstream wind turbines decrease the power outputs of downstream wind turbines by reducing wind speed. This wake interference significantly lowers the power production of a wind farm, especially that of a large-scale wind farm. In this paper, we express wind farm power as a differentiable function of location variables. We then apply a sequential convex programming (SCP) to optimize the locations of a large number of wind turbines to maximize the wind farm power.

Recover Signals under Systemic Effects via Convex Optimization Project Report EE 364b
There has been considerable progress in multiple testing methods for high throughput applications. A common example, coming from biology, is testing which of N genes’ expression levels correlate significantly with a scalar variable, which we’ll call the primary variable. The primary variable may be an experimentally applied treatment or it may be a covariate such as a phenotype. We will use the...
متن کاملLarge-scale hierarchical optimization for online advertising and wind farm planning
This thesis develops a framework to investigate and design novel optimization methods for two important problems: computational advertising (particularly, sponsored search) and wind farm turbine-layout planning. Whereas very different in specifics, both problems share some common abstractions. The existing solution in sponsored search is based on a greedy pay-per-click auction and is suitable o...
متن کاملOn Sequential Optimality Conditions without Constraint Qualifications for Nonlinear Programming with Nonsmooth Convex Objective Functions
Sequential optimality conditions provide adequate theoretical tools to justify stopping criteria for nonlinear programming solvers. Here, nonsmooth approximate gradient projection and complementary approximate Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions are presented. These sequential optimality conditions are satisfied by local minimizers of optimization problems independently of the fulfillment of constrai...
متن کاملWind farm layout using Biogeography Based Optimization
6 Wind energy is one of the most promising option for the renewable energy. Finding optimum set of locations for wind turbines in a wind farm so that the total energy output of the farm is maximum, is usually referred as the wind farm layout optimization problem (WFLOP). This article presents the solution of WFLOP using a recent unconventional optimization algorithm, Biogeography Based Optimiza...
