A Model-Free Approach to Wind Farm Control Using Game Theoretic Methods

摘要

This brief explores the applicability of recent results in game theory and cooperative control to the problem of optimizing energy production in wind farms. One such result is a model-free control strategy that is completely decentralized and leads to efficient system behavior in virtually any distributed system. We demonstrate that this learning rule can provably maximize energy production in wind farms without explicitly modeling the aerodynamic interaction amongst the turbines.
