Wind Farm Layout Optimization Model Considering the Influence of Restricted Area
In this paper, the relative position of the wind turbine and the restricted area was determined based on the look-up table method, and then the method was embedded in the wind farm layout optimization model based on the improved monarch butterfly algorithm to solve the layout results that meet the restricted area constraints and output power maximization. The model was applied to optimize the layout of 2 km × 2 km wind farm with restricted area, and the layout scheme and its fitness value were obtained. The results show that the optimized layout scheme can effectively avoid the restricted area, and the fitness of the layout scheme with restricted area was reduced by 0.5% compared with the layout without restricted area. Compared with the traditional Monarchs, particle swarm optimization algorithms and differential adaptive monarchs algorithm, the proposed algorithm had obtained a constrained layout scheme in the results of 30 separate runs, showing better global search ability and optimization accuracy.
