TL;DR: In this article, an optimal reactive power dispatch strategy is proposed to minimize the total electrical losses of a wind farm (WF), including not only losses in the transmission cables and wind turbine (WT) transformers, but also losses inside wind energy generation systems.

TL;DR: In this article, an integrated optimization method in which the positions of the turbines and offshore substations and the cable connection configuration are optimized simultaneously is proposed in order to realize a cost-effective wind farm, which can reduce the levelized production cost by 5.00% and increase the energy yields by 3.82%.

TL;DR: In this article, an optimization method for offshore wind farm layout design is proposed to maximize the energy production of the wind farm, the wind turbine positions are optimized with the purpose of maximizing the energy consumption.

TL;DR: In this article, an evolutionary algorithm, the particle swarm optimization (PSO), is adopted to find the solution of the problem and the adaptive parameter control strategy is utilized to increase the probability of finding the global optimal solution.
