contents Wind farm layout optimization (WFLO), which seeks to maximizing annual energy production by strategically adjusting wind turbines' location, is essential for the development of large-scale wind farms. While low-fidelity methods dominate WFLO studies, high-fidelity methods are less commonly applied due to their significant computational costs. This paper introduces a Bayesian optimization framework that leverages a novel adaptive acquisition function switching strategy to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of WFLO using high-fidelity modeling methods. The proposed switch acquisition functions strategy alternates between MSP and MES acquisition functions, dynamically balancing exploration and exploitation. By iteratively retraining the Kriging model with intermediate optimal layouts, the framework progressively refines its predictions to accelerate convergence to optimal solutions. The performance of the switch-acquisition-function-based Bayesian optimization framework is first validated using 4- and 10-dimensional Ackley benchmark functions, where it demonstrates superior optimization efficiency compared to using MSP or MES alone. The framework is then applied to WFLO problems using Gaussian wake models for three varying wind farm cases. Results show that the switch-acquisition-function-based Bayesian optimization framework outperforms traditional heuristic algorithms, achieving near-optimal annual energy output with significantly fewer calculations. Finally, the framework is extended to high-fidelity WFLO by coupling it with CFD simulations, where turbine rotors are modeled as actuator disks. The novel switch-acquisition-function-based Bayesian optimization enables more effective exploration to achieve higher annual energy production in WFLO, advancing the design of more effective wind farm layouts.
