A review of applications of artificial intelligent algorithms in wind farms

Wind farms are enormous and complex control systems. It is challenging and valuable to control and optimize wind farms. Their applications are widely used in various industries. Artificial intelligent algorithms are effective methods for optimization problems due to their distinctive characteristics. They have been successfully applied to wind farms. In this paper, several issues in wind farms are presented. Applications of artificial intelligent algorithms in wind farm controllers, Mach number, wind speed prediction, wind power prediction and other problems of wind farms are reviewed. Two future research directions are pointed out to develop artificial intelligent algorithms for wind farm control systems and wind speed and power prediction.
