The collected marine environment data are statistically analyzed to calculate key parameters such as wave height, tidal cycle, and temperature range. Mathematical models and algorithms are used to evaluate the impact of the marine environment on the construction and operation of wind farms. The impact of the size and frequency of waves and tides on the stability and operation of wind turbines is analyzed. The impact of temperature changes on the efficiency of wind turbines is evaluated. The collected wind resource data are analyzed to determine the average wind speed in the wind farm area, the frequency distribution of wind direction, and the key indicators of wind speed variability. The wave height, wave cycle, current speed and direction, and sea level change marine environment indicators are analyzed. The wind resource data and marine environment data are integrated to analyze the relationship between the wind speed and direction in the wind farm area and the marine environment. The potential connection and interaction mechanism between the changes in wind speed and direction and the wave and tidal marine environment factors are identified.

Among them, the layout of the floating wind turbine array should take into account the spatial distribution of the marine environment to avoid arranging wind turbines under extreme marine environmental conditions. The distance between floating wind turbines should be large enough to avoid reduced wind speed and power generation efficiency caused by the wake effect. The design of floating wind turbines should meet the extreme marine environment. End conditions should be met to ensure safe operation in severe weather such as storms and huge waves. The mooring system of floating wind turbines should be strong enough to resist the impact of external forces such as ocean currents and waves. The construction and operation costs of floating wind turbines should be taken into account, including the costs of equipment purchase, installation, maintenance, and transportation. The layout of the floating wind turbine array should optimize the power generation efficiency to improve economic benefits. The floating wind turbine wake model is used to simulate the wake effect between floating wind turbines under different layouts. Through simulation, the impact of different layouts on wind speed and power generation efficiency is analyzed. The floating wind turbine wake model is combined with marine environmental indicators and wind speed and direction indicators to construct a floating wind turbine array optimization model to evaluate the effective power generation efficiency of floating wind turbine arrays under different layouts.
[0075] Furthermore, the calculation process of the effective power generation efficiency of the floating wind turbine array is to calculate the swept area of each floating wind turbine , considering the wake effect and the spacing between floating wind turbines, the wake velocity of each floating wind turbine is estimated , and combined with wind speed, power coefficient of floating wind turbine and swept area of floating wind turbine, the theoretical power generation of each floating wind turbine is calculated, and the wake attenuation coefficient is used Analyze the wake effect with the floating wind turbine spacing L, adjust the power generation of each floating wind turbine, and analyze the wind direction change angle in combination with the wave influence factor k and the influence of the marine environment.

After multiple iterations, the algorithm will gradually converge to an approximate optimal solution. The specific process is: a set of floating wind turbine arrays is randomly generated. The layout scheme is used as the initial population, and each solution is evaluated according to the fitness function. The solution with higher fitness is selected as the parent generation to generate the next generation. New child solutions are generated by exchanging some genes of the parent solution. The child solutions are randomly mutated to increase the diversity of solutions. The selection, crossover and mutation operations are repeated until the fitness value is no longer significantly improved. For each generated layout scheme, the floating wind turbine wake model and marine environmental data are used to comprehensively analyze the wake effect between floating wind turbines, the changes in wind speed and wind direction, and the impact of the marine environment on wind turbine performance, and calculate the effective power generation efficiency of the floating wind turbine array. According to the evaluation results of the effective power generation efficiency and combined with the economic cost factor, the optimal layout scheme of the floating wind turbine array that meets all constraints (space constraints, safety constraints, and economic constraints) is screened out, thereby achieving the best balance between power generation efficiency and economy.

[0090] In step 6, the process of adjusting and optimizing the optimization scheme is as follows:
[0091] Based on the optimization effect evaluation results of the power generation efficiency indicators before and after optimization, identify the deficiencies in the optimization process. If the simulation results are significantly different from the field test results, the model accuracy is insufficient and a more accurate description of the aerodynamic, hydrodynamic, servo and elastic characteristics of the floating wind turbine is required. If the floating wind turbine array performs poorly under specific environmental conditions, the optimization scheme is not adaptable enough to environmental changes. If the floating wind turbine exhibits large vibrations or output power fluctuations in simulation or field tests, the control strategy needs to be optimized.
