Simple wind farm layout optimization, where the locations and capacities of wind turbines are provided.
The turbine_locations matrix contains the (x, y) coordinates of each wind turbine in a 2D plane. The rows represent different turbines, and each row contains the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of a turbine.
The turbine_capacities vector contains the capacities of the wind turbines in kilowatts (kW). The elements of this vector correspond to the capacities of the turbines in the same order as their locations in the turbine_locations matrix.
The wind farm layout is visualized using a scatter plot. The scatter function is used to plot the turbines in the 2D plane, with their x-coordinates on the x-axis, y-coordinates on the y-axis, and the size of each marker representing the capacity of the corresponding turbine. The 'filled' argument is used to fill the markers with color.
The resulting plot shows the positions of the wind turbines in the 2D plane, and the size of each turbine marker indicates its capacity. Larger markers represent turbines with higher capacities, while smaller markers represent turbines with lower capacities.
This visualization provides an overview of the wind farm layout, which can be useful for initial assessments before more advanced optimization techniques are applied.
