Abstract :
Optimizing the electric design of an offshore wind farm is a key issue given cost and reliability considerations. The model presented here has been developed to efficiently optimize the electric layout of a wind farm taking into account stochasticity in wind scenarios and component failures. Given the suitable structure of the problem, Benders´ decomposition method has been applied to the model successfully finding optimal solutions in a reduced computation time.
