Otimização de Redes Coletoras de Parques Eólicos Utilizando Programação Binária

Abstract

This work proposes an optimization model for the design of wind farms collector networks, in order to minimize construction and losses costs over a planning horizon. A model found in the literature is reproduced and improved by additional contributions made in this work. The results analysis shows that competent solutions are obtained and that additional savings are achieved by using the proposed model.
