Abstract

Offshore wind farms have boomed worldwide due to the sustainability of wind power and ocean resources. Power grid companies should consider the wind power consumption problem with more power generated. Power-flow calculation is the most fundamental tool in energy management. This paper proposes the convex-relaxation-based method for offshore wind farms’ power flow. In this method, the traditional equations’ problem solving is transferred into standard convex optimization, which can be solved efficiently with unique optimum. Second-order cone relaxations are imposed to describe the quadratic relationship. The exactness of the relaxation is guaranteed with the special definition of the objective function.The superiority of the proposed method is tested on the case study, for which a computational efficiency improvement is shown. Moreover, the reliability of the power-flow results is verified within the precision tolerance.
