Power Generation Analysis and Arrangement Optimization for Floating Wind Farm with Wake Interference
Floating wind turbines in far offshore areas experience large motions as they generate electricity under both the actions of wind and waves.A program is designed to analyze the coupling of multiple floating wind turbines arranged in a straight line,considering wake aerodynamics,structure deformations,servo control,platform motion,mooring system,and wave load.In conjunction with Bastankhah's analytical wake model,we examine the impact of individual parameters on the total power generated by the wind farm.This analysis allows us to identify the key factors that significantly influence the overall generating efficiency of wind farms.Additionally,we investigate the optimal configuration that can minimize wake interferences within the wind farm.
