This article focuses on the optimization of the layout of a tidal current turbine array (TCTA) using the Quantum Discrete Particle Swarm (QDPS) algorithm. The objective of the optimization is to balance the maximum energy output and minimum levelized cost of energy (LCOE). The optimization model pro...
