MATLAB code for topology optimization of wind farm layouts, with a sequential linear programming (SLP) approach.
The code implements the optimization approach proposed in:
Pollini, N. (2022). Topology optimization of wind farm layouts. Renewable Energy, 195, 1015-1027.
Initial grid of wind turbines. There are 124 potential wind turbine. During the optimization analysis, a minimum of 16 and a maximum of 64 wind turbines are allowed to be placed.
Wind rose, for a wind speed of 9.8 m/s.
Optimized wind farm layout.
The red circles define the minimum distance between wind turbines.
