Short-term wind power prediction based on hybrid variational mode decomposition and least squares support vector machine optimized by improved salp swarm algorithm model

Abstract

To improve the accuracy of wind power prediction, a short-term wind power prediction model based on variational mode decomposition (VMD) and improved salp swarm algorithm (ISSA) optimized least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) is proposed. In the model, the variational modal decomposition is used to decompose the wind power sequence into multiple eigenmode components with limited bandwidth. The improved salp swarm algorithm is employed to tune the regularization parameter and kernel parameter in LSSVM. The proposed wind power prediction strategy using mean one-hour historical wind power data collected from a wind farm located in zhejiang, China. Compared with other prediction models illustrate the better prediction performance of VMD-ISSA-LSSVM.
