A non-cooperative game-based power control for wind turbines with wake effects

In this paper, a non-cooperative game theory-based control strategy is proposed to maximize the generated power for wind turbines under the influence of wake effects. Wind turbines are modeled as self-interested players in the game. Their strategies are their own axial induction coefficients. The goal of decision-making is to achieve their maximum output power in equilibrium state. Nonlinear optimization method is utilized to achieve the Nash equilibrium. The power control problem under the complex aerodynamic interactions between wind turbines and the inaccuracy of wake models can be solved by the introduction of game theory. Simulations are presented to illustrate the validity of the theoretical result.
