Electrical layout design is a key element in offshore wind farm (OWF) planning, with a critical impact on both plant cost and reliability. Offshore Windfarm Layout optimizer (OWL) has been developed to efficiently find optimal electrical layouts in affordable computation times.
The model is based on Mixed-Integer Programming solved with Benders’ decomposition. Several innovative features of the model have been described in academic publications:
