set_crossover: Set crossover of turbine layouts

In windfarmGA: Genetic Algorithm for Wind Farm Layout Optimization

Set crossover of turbine layouts

Description

Combine two layouts of n unique grid-cell IDs. Shared sites are kept; remaining sites are sampled from the parents' exclusive cells and, with rate p_inject, from grid cells that neither parent uses. Identical parents still get unused cells injected so the search does not freeze. Every child has exactly n turbines.

Usage

set_crossover(
  ids,
  grid_ids,
  uplimit = 300,
  seed = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE,
  p_inject = NULL,
  grid_xy = NULL,
  visit = NULL,
  p_spatial = NULL
)

Arguments

ids	Integer matrix with n rows (turbines) and one column per parent
grid_ids	All valid grid cell IDs
uplimit	Maximum number of children. Default is 300
seed	Set a seed for comparability. Default is NULL
verbose	If TRUE, print the number of children
p_inject	Fraction of non-shared slots filled from unused grid cells. Default is getOption("windfarmGA.crossover_inject") (0.25). At least one unused cell is injected when any are available.
grid_xy	Optional matrix/data.frame with columns ID, X, Y. If given, a spatial half-plane crossover is used with probability p_spatial.
visit	Named visit counts per grid ID (undersampled cells preferred)
p_spatial	Probability of spatial (vs set) crossover when grid_xy is given. Default is getOption("windfarmGA.spatial_crossover") (0.5)

Value

Integer matrix of unique grid IDs (n x children)
