Topology Dimensionality Reduction Optimization for Power Collection System of Offshore Wind Farm Based on Improved k-ring-Voronoi Diagram
To address issues such as the excessive number of candidate line combinations and the difficulty in defining obstacle zones in the topology optimization of power collection systems for offshore wind farms
a dimensionality reduction optimization method for power collection systems of offshore wind farms is proposed
incorporating refined obstacle zone avoidance. First
to mitigate the subjectivity of threshold parameter settings during regional division of various wind farms
based on the spatial layout properties of offshore wind turbines
a partitioning strategy based on the improved
k
-ring-Voronoi diagram is designed
utilizing kernel density estimation for adaptive quantification and adjustment of neighborhood division to reduce candidate line scale and minimize redundant cross-constraints. Second
to effectively avoid irregular obstacle zones
auxiliary path points are introduced to optimize avoidance paths of obstacle zones by selecting auxiliary nodes through convex hull edge delineation
effectively preserving geometric features of obstacle zones. Finally
a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model is further constructed
integrating a preprocessing framework to achieve coordinated global
optimization and local obstacle avoidance. Additionally
an accelerated strategy for MILP incorporating topological prior knowledge is designed to enhance convergence performance for large-scale optimization problems. Validation through case studies of wind farms with varying scales demonstrates that the proposed method can significantly reduce the computational complexity while maintaining topology optimization accuracy
