Active Power Dispatch Optimization for Offshore Wind Farms Considering Productivity and Fatigue Load Distribution
To address the problem of unbalanced fatigue load distribution in offshore wind farms and high O&M costs due to the unsynchronized maintenance frequency of each unit,an optimal control strategy for offshore wind turbine output considering fatigue load distribution is proposed,which effectively reduces the wake effect of wind farms based on the minimum thrust coefficient control of wind turbines,optimizes the fatigue load of each unit with the goal of balanced fatigue load distribution,synchronizes the maintenance frequency of each unit,and thus reduces costs.The simulation results show that compared with the maximum power point tracking control strategy,the proposed strategy achieves a balanced distribution of fatigue load on the wind farm while increasing the annual output of the wind farm by 4.20%.
