Review of Artificial Intelligence-Based Design Optimization of Wind Power Systems

Abstract

This paper reviews the applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in the design optimization of wind power systems, mainly including (1) wind farm layout optimization; (2) wind turbine design optimization; and (3) wind farm electrical system design optimization. Firstly, this paper introduces the general considerations in the optimal design of wind power systems and the AI methods commonly used for the optimal design of wind power systems. Then the applications of AI in the optimal design of wind farms are reviewed in detail. Finally, further research directions of using AI methods in the optimal design of wind power systems are recommended.
