Abstract

Onshore wind energy has experienced a rapid growth in recent years due mainly to the maturity achieved by its technology and the institutional support for renewable energy. Offshore wind energy also faces a very promising future as an extensive development of offshore wind farm (OWF) projects is planned in many regions of the world. The electric power system is a prominent part of an OWF since its design exceedingly affects the cost structure and operation of the entire facility. Thus the electric power system of an OWF must be optimized in order to minimize the life-cycle cost, while maintaining an adequate level of technical performance. The optimization of the electric power system of an OWF poses a complex mathematical problem since it requires considering jointly the key aspects that characterize its design: system component costs, system efficiency and system reliability. This problem may be addressed satisfactorily by using optimization models based on classical and metaheuristic optimization approaches.
