Design/manufacturing optimization (wind farm layout optimization)
Automate design operations using simulators.
- Automates wind farm layout design, considering cable connection costs, topography, distance, and strong winds occurring once every 50 years.
- Uses simulation optimization technology to simultaneously maximize energy production and minimize cable connection costs.
- Contributes to reducing design time for wind farm layout and increasing energy production.
Applications
- Wind farm layout design operations
- Can also be used to resolve problems in which optimum parameters or combinations are determined through repeated trial and error.
Benchmarks, strengths, and track record
- Enables design of layout with greater energy production in less time, compared to engineers spending several hours in design.
- Currently in trials as a design tool
