Optimal Planning of Offshore Wind Power with Wave Energy Converter via Snake Optimizer

With the rapid development of wind power technology, the development of wind power systems will bring fundamental changes to the structure of energy and power systems. The application of wind power technology in the offshore can reduce costs, solve the imbalance between supply and demand of multiple energy sources, and improve energy output. To ensure the reliability of offshore wind power system layout, the output power of array arrangement is taken as the objective function, and the snake optimizer is used to find the optimal value of location planning. And compared with other algorithms based on 3, 6 and 12 offshore wind power systems. the maximum absorbed power of snake optimizer (SO) improves by 486.613 kW and 327.574 kW over particle swarm optimization (PSO) and beetle antennae search (BAS), respectively.
