Optimization of a wave energy park using a spectral wave model and a binary genetic algorithm

Abstract

In this paper we analysed how to optimize a wave energy converter farm considering a variable sea bottom. For this purpose, genetic algorithms such as those developed in the work of [3] are used. By using an objective function that calculates the power and levelized cost of energy a wave park resulting from SWAN numerical model.
