This paper proposes an alterable weight minimum spanning tree (AW-MST) method to plan electrical collector systems (ECSs) in tidal current generation farms (TCGFs) toward economic objectives. First, a sector-division-based fuzzy c-means (FCM) grouping algorithm is proposed. The tidal current turbine...
