Abstract

Reducing wake losses and improving the overall power output of wind farms have become a research focus in attempts to optimize wind farm power generation. A cooperative multiagent optimization method (CMAOM) for wind farm power delivery maximization has been proposed in this paper. In the CMAOM, a wind farm wake distribution calculation model, based on the Jensen wake model, was constructed, and each turbine was then assigned as an agent; the CMAOM was used to reduce wake losses and improve the overall wind farm power output. The agent, multiagent objective function and grid environment were defined in this study using wind turbine characteristics, and the CMAOM, including the neighborhood competition operator, mutation operator, and self-learning operator, were calibrated using wind turbine aerodynamic correlation characteristics. The Danish Horns Rev wind farm was selected as a case study, and the CMAOM and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm were used to conduct analyses there. The results showed that the CMAOM proposed in this paper was more effective than the PSO algorithm and that the wind farm overall power output was increased by 7.51% for a 270° incoming wind direction and an incoming wind speed of 8.5 m/s.
