Modelling Wind for Wind Farm Layout Optimization Using Joint Distribution of Wind Speed and Wind Direction

Feng, Ju; Shen, Wen Zhong - In: Energies 8 (2015) 4, pp. 3075-3092

-wise Weibull distributions has been found inappropriate for wind farm layout optimization. In this study, we propose a simple and … found that the choice of bin size for wind direction is especially critical for layout optimization and the recommended … in terms of the coefficient of determination . Then, the best of these joint distributions is used in the layout …

Heuristic-based energy landscape paving for the circular packing problem with performance constraints of equilibrium

Liu, Jingfa; Jiang, Yucong; Li, Gang; Xue, Yu; Liu, Zhaoxia - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 431 (2015) C, pp. 166-174

The optimal layout problem of circle group in a circular container with performance constraints of equilibrium belongs to a class of NP-hard problem. The key obstacle of solving this problem is the lack of an effective global optimization method. We convert the circular packing problem with...

Dynamic reduction heuristics for the rectangle packing area minimization problem

He, Kun; Ji, Pengli; Li, Chumin - In: European Journal of Operational Research 241 (2015) 3, pp. 674-685

The rectangle packing area minimization problem is a key sub-problem of floorplanning in VLSI design. This problem places a set of axis aligned two-dimensional rectangular items of given sizes onto a rectangular plane such that no two items overlap and the area of the enveloping rectangle is...

Wind farm layout optimization using particle filtering approach

Eroğlu, Yunus; Seçkiner, Serap Ulusam - In: Renewable Energy 58 (2013) C, pp. 95-107

In this study, a particle filtering approach is used to get an optimized layout of a wind farm that has the minimum wake effects and maximum power generation. There are two main constraints of the problem, which are the wind farm boundary and the distance of any two turbines to each other. The...
