Nowadays, optimizing wind farm configurations is one of the biggest concerns for energy communities. The ongoing investigations have so far helped increasing power generation and reducing corresponding costs. The primary objective of this study is to optimize a wind farm layout in Manjil, Iran. The optimization procedure aims to find the optimal arrangement of this wind farm and the best values for the hubs of its wind turbines. By considering wind regimes and geographic data of the considered area, and using the Jensen’s method, the wind turbine wake effect of the proposed configuration is simulated. The objective function in the optimization problem is set in such a way to find the optimal arrangement of the wind turbines as well as electricity generation costs, based on the Mossetti cost function, by implementing the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. The results reveal that optimizing the given wind farm leads to a 10.75% increase in power generation capacity and a 9.42% reduction in its corresponding cost.

As wind farms have great influences on power system stability, it is essential to develop an adaptive as well as robust equivalent model of it. In this paper, a detailed equivalent model of PMSG wind farm and initialization method is developed. The trajectory sensitivity of parameters is analyzed. Then, the key parameters are estimated using improved Genetic Learning Particle Swarm Optimization (GLPSO) hybrid algorithm with phasor measurement unit (PMU). The description and generalization capability, stability for parameter identification of the equivalent model under wake effects, and when some wind turbines are off-line or wind speed is unknown after an event are analyzed. The maximum differences between the values of estimated parameters and their real ones are less than 10% for the proportional magnification constant of DC voltage controller Kp2 and grid side current controller Kp3. The convergence rate and global optimization performance of the improved GLPSO hybrid algorithm is 0.5 times higher than the classical particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) and genetic algorithm (GA).

Aiming at a kind of uncertainties of models in complex industry processes, a novel method for selecting robust parameters is stated in the paper. Based on the analysis, parameters selecting for robust control is reduced to be an object optimization problem, and the particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used for solving the problem, and the corresponding robust parameters are obtained. Simulation results show that the robust parameters designed by this method have good robustness and satisfactory performance.
