Method for treating optimization problems in e.g. wind power plant, involves gradually alternating energy landscape of predetermined optimization problem in combination with optimization procedure with minor barriers

The method involves gradually alternating an energy landscape of predetermined optimization problem in combination with an optimization procedure with minor barriers. A threshold value is maintained to be constant and slightly modified, and transition probabilities for an optimization procedure are calculated from probability distribution of gains and losses of a portfolio by a cost function. The optimization problem is analogically examined by phase transitions for a physical system, and precursor effects for the phase transition are utilized as an indication point. An independent claim is also included for a method for optimizing a wind power plant or portfolio. Verfahren zur Behandlung von Optimierungsproblemen derart, dass ein Optimierungsverfahren A, das schrittweise die Energielandschaft des vorgegebenen Optimierungsproblems abändert, in Kombination mit einem weiteren Optimierungsverfahren B, mit dessen Hilfe geringfügige Barrieren in der veränderten Energielandschaft überwunden werden können, verwandt wird
