DeepFore: A Deep Reinforcement Learning Approach for Power Forecasting in Renewable Energy Systems

Abstract

An open network known as the “energy internet” links every component of the whole energy supply chains, from the generations. Due to their ability to mimic regional flow dynamics that have an impact on wind farm production, regional meteorological models are increasingly being used as a general tool for wind resource forecasting. In this study, higher vertical and horizontal resolutions WRF (weather research and forecasting) paradigm simulation are used to anticipate and validate production for a genuine onshore wind farm. This paper proposed a DeepFore which is a power forecasting system for hybrid renewable energy systems. Initially, the dataset is generated by the hybrid system. This data is preprocessed to improve the quality of the data by incorporating, filtering and outlier detection techniques. Then, this enriched data is fed into K++ means clustering algorithm to separate the normal data from faulty data. With the normal and original data, Teaching-Learning based optimization algorithm attempts to realize the optimal features which are important for forecasting. Finally, Deep SARSA which is deep reinforcement learning algorithm is incorporated to determine the power generated by the hybrid system. Better winds energy prediction estimations enable more efficient utilization of the produced electricity, according to computational models.
