Simultaneous optimization of electrical interconnection configuration and cable sizing in offshore wind farms

Abstract Offshore wind farm (OWF) is the largest renewable energy resource. The electrical interconnection cost of OWFs is a considerable fraction of the overall design cost of the farm. In order to minimize the investment and operational costs, this paper proposes an optimization formulation to fin...
