Abstract
This paper presents a model-free method for turbine repositioning control in floating offshore wind farms. The method uses a distributed online optimization framework to mitigate the wake effect. Conventional approaches rely on centralized, model-based control architectures, which suffer from poor practical feasibility. To overcome this limitation and address nonconvexity and inaccessible gradient information, we incorporate physics-informed knowledge of wake dynamics into the control system design. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method by comparing it with a centralized, model-based baseline in mid-fidelity simulations. Results indicate that the proposed method achieves slightly better performance while significantly reducing computational cost.
