This paper proposed the SVD (singular value decomposition) clustering algorithm to cluster wind turbines into some group for a large offshore wind farm, in order to reduce the high-dimensional problem in wind farm power control and numerical simulation. Firstly, wind farm wake relationship matrixes are established considering the wake effect in an offshore wind farm, and the SVD of wake relationship matrixes is used to cluster wind turbines into some groups by the fuzzy clustering algorithm. At last, the Horns Rev offshore wind farm is analyzed to test the clustering algorithm, and the clustering result and the power simulation show the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed clustering strategy.
