AB The advances in the manufacturing industry make it possible to install wind turbines (WTs) with large capacities in offshore wind farms (OWFs) in deep water areas far away from the coast where there are the best wind resources. This paper proposes a novel method for OWF optimal planning in deep water areas with a circular boundary. A three-dimensional model of the planning area’s seabed is established in a cylindrical coordinate. Two kinds of WTs with capacities of 4 and 8 MW respectively are supposed to be mixed-installed in that area. Baseline cases are analyzed and compared to verify the superiority of a circular layout pattern and the necessity of a non-uniform installation. Based on the establishment of the optimization model and a realistic wind condition, a novel heuristic algorithm, i.e., the whale optimization algorithm (WOA), is applied to solve the problem to obtain the type selection and coordinates of WTs simultaneously. Finally, the feasibility and advantages of the proposed scheme are identified and discussed according to the simulation results.
