Spatiotemporal wind speed forecasting using conditional local convolution and multidimensional meteorology features

Wind speed prediction is crucial for precisely wind power forecasting and reduced maintenance costs. Highland regions, which possess a considerable wind potential, present complex meteorological conditions, making wind speed prediction challenging. Traditional weather forecasting relies on complex statistical methods and extensive prior knowledge. While recent deep learning models have improved prediction accuracy, they often assume uniform influence weight structure, limiting model effectiveness. This study introduces an enhanced Conditional Local Convolution Recurrent Network (CLCRN) model to improve spatiotemporal wind speed forecasting using multidimensional meteorological inputs such as temperature, pressure, and dew point, alongside wind components. This model addresses uniform influence model weight issue by redesigning convolution kernels to better capture local meteorological features and integrating multiple influencing factors. Our model consistently achieves lower Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) values across various prediction intervals (3, 6, 9, and 12 h) compared to other models, supported by the meteorological station data from 2019 to 2021. Furthermore, the spatial distribution of the local convolution weights aligns with local wind velocity patterns in Inner Mongolia, enhancing model interpretability. These results demonstrate potential for practical applications in renewable energy planning and wind dynamics simulation.

An integrated binary metaheuristic approach in dynamic unit commitment and economic emission dispatch for hybrid energy systems

The current generation portfolio is obligated to incorporate zero-emissions energy sources, predominantly wind and solar, due to the depletion of fossil fuels and the alarming rate of global warming. In the current scenario, power engineers must devise a compromised solution that not only advocates for the adoption of renewable energy sources (RES) but also efficiently schedules all conventional power generation units to balance the increasing load demand while simultaneously minimizing fuel costs and harmful emissions that are currently addressed by Unit Commitment (UC) and Combined Economic Emission Dispatch (CEED) problem solutions. However, the integration of renewable energy resources (RES) further complicates the UC-CEED problem due to their intermittent nature. Recently, metaheuristic algorithms are acquiring momentum in resolving constrained UC-CEED problems due to their improved global solution ability, adaptability, and derivative-free construction. In this research, a computationally efficient binary hybrid version of crow search algorithm and improvised grey wolf optimization is proposed, namely Crow Search Improved Binary Grey Wolf Optimization Algorithm (CS-BIGWO) by inclusion of nonlinear control parameter, weight-based position updating, and mutation approach. Statistical results on standard mathematical functions prove the supremacy of the proposed algorithm over conventional algorithms. Further, a novel optimization strategy is devised by integrating enhanced lambda iteration with the CS-BIGWO algorithm (CS-BIGWO-λ\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$\\lambda$$\\end{document}) to solve a day-ahead UC-CEED problem of the hybrid energy system incorporating cost functions of RES. For the model, a day-ahead forecast of wind power and solar photovoltaic power is obtained by using the Levy-Flight Chaotic Whale Optimization Algorithm optimized Extreme Learning Machines(LCWOA-ELM). The proposed algorithm is tested for the UC-CEED solution of an IEEE-39 bus system with two distinct cases: (1) without RES integration and (2) with RES integration. Several independent trial runs are executed, and the performance of the algorithms is assessed based on optimal UC schedules, fuel cost, emission quantization, convergence curve, and computational time. For case 1, the proposed algorithm resulted in a percentage reduction of 0.1021% in fuel cost and 0.7995% in emission. In contrast, for test case 2, it resulted in a percentage reduction of 0.12896% in fuel cost and 0.772% in emission with the proposed algorithm. The results validate the dominance of the proposed methodology over existing methods in terms of lower fuel costs and emissions.

FDNet: Frequency filter enhanced dual LSTM network for wind power forecasting

The inherent volatility and intermittency of wind power present significant forecasting challenges, undermining the efficient integration of wind energy into the power grid. Existing methodologies, notably long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, encounter significant limitations due to their inefficiencies in processing long sequences, difficulties in capturing multi-scale temporal dynamics, and heightened sensitivity to noisy data, which can severely hamper model performance. To address these challenges, This paper proposes the frequency filter enhanced dual LSTM network (FDNet), a novel approach that directly addresses the constraints of the LSTM and improves the accuracy and stability of wind power forecasting. Specifically, FDNet employs the patching operation to divide the original time series into several sub-sequences, potentially boosting the computational efficiency. Furthermore, a specific frequency filter is designed and incorporated into FDNet, effectively reducing the influence of noise. Finally, a dual LSTM structure is employed, which enables FDNet to adeptly discover both short-term local temporal patterns and long-term global temporal patterns inherent in wind power data. Extensive experiments across three datasets demonstrate that FDNet significantly outperforms existing methods, achieving up to 11.0% reduction in mean absolute error and 8.1% in root mean squared error on the HL dataset, underscoring its effectiveness in wind power forecasting.

Wind power prediction based on deep learning models: The case of Adama Wind farm

Wind is a renewable energy source that is used to generate electricity. Wind power is one of the suitable solutions for global warming since it is free from pollution, doesn’t cause greenhouse effects, and it is a natural source of energy. However, Wind power generation highly depends on weather conditions. It is very difficult to easily predict the amount of power generated from wind at a particular instant in time. Adama wind power farm is one of the wind farms in Ethiopia. There is no accurate and reliable forecasting model for the Adama wind farm that enables the forecasting of the power generated from the farm. The main objective of this research is to develop a wind power forecasting model for the Adama wind farm using deep learning techniques. Forecasting of wind power generation capacity involves appropriate modeling techniques that use past wind power generation data. The experiments have been conducted using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU). To achieve the highest forecasting accuracy, four years of data (from 2016-2019), with five-minute intervals, have been collected with a total of 163,802 rows. For hyperparameter optimization grid search and random search techniques have been utilized. The performances of the proposed deep learning models were investigated error metrics, including Mean Absolute Errors (MAE) and the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) and R squared (R2). Bi-LSTM outperforms the other two algorithms, scoring 0.644, 0.388, 0.769 and 0.978 MAE, MAPE, RMSE and R2 values respectively. Such wind power forecasting helps energy planners and regional power providers to compute power production and energy generated from other sources.

Two-stage Day-ahead Multi-step Prediction of Wind Power Considering Time-series Information Interaction

With the large-scale development of wind power, high penetration wind power grid connection poses serious challenges to the safe and stable operation of the power system. However, the current accuracy of wind power forecasting is facing bottlenecks due to the limitations of Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) data. Therefore, this article proposes a two-stage day-ahead multi-step wind power prediction (WPP) scheme that considers temporal information interaction. In the first stage, the next day prediction of wind power is based on historical power and 0∼24 hours NWP data. Then, an embedded deep decomposition module is used to extract predictable components and multi-scale information fusion is performed. In the second stage, the result of day-ahead WPP is obtained based on the extracted predictable components and combined with 24∼48 hours of NWP data. The wind farms in Jilin and Inner Mongolia of China are used to experimental analysis. The results show that the scheme proposed in the article has a better prediction effect compared with other schemes in the paper, which can effectively improve the multi-step prediction accuracy of day-ahead wind power.

A short-term wind power forecasting model based on CUR

Abstract Wind power forecasting plays a crucial role in the contemporary renewable energy system. During the process of forecasting wind power, the establishment of LSTM models requires a lot of time and effort, and the interpretability of prediction results is poor, making it difficult to understand and verify the results. To accomplish interpretable and precise wind power predictions, this paper introduces a wind power prediction algorithm model leveraging CUR matrix decomposition. The CUR matrix decomposition method first obtains the original matrix A (wind power data matrix). The statistical influence scores of rows and columns in A are calculated, and several columns and rows with higher scores are selected to form a low dimensional matrix C and R. Matrix C contains the main characteristic factors that affect wind power, while matrix R contains time series features. Then, the matrix U is approximated by A, C, and R to transform the preference feature extraction problem in high-dimensional space into a matrix analysis problem in low-dimensional space, making it more interpretable and accurate. The efficacy of the wind power forecasting approach utilizing CUR matrix decomposition is assessed and confirmed on openly accessible datasets. The results indicate that the CUR matrix decomposition method has good prediction accuracy and interpretability.

Accurate forecasting of wind power generation is crucial for ensuring a stable and efficient energy supply, reducing the environmental impact of energy production, and promoting a cleaner and more sustainable energy supply. Inaccurate forecasts can lead to a mismatch between wind power generation and energy demand, resulting in wasted energy, increased emissions, and reduced grid stability. Therefore, improving the accuracy of wind power generation forecasting is essential for optimizing energy storage and grid management, reducing the reliance on fossil fuels, decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, and promoting a more sustainable energy future. This study proposes an innovative approach to enhance wind power generation forecasting accuracy by leveraging the strengths of metaheuristic algorithms for feature selection and integrating them with Neural Networks (NN). Specifically, five distinct algorithms - Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO), and Evolutionary Mating Algorithm (EMA) - are integrated with NN model to identify optimal feature subsets from a comprehensive dataset of 18 diverse features. The results show that the GA consistently outperforms other algorithms in selecting the most influential features, leading to improved precision in wind power predictions. Notably, the GA achieves the best root mean square error (RMSE) of 37.1837 and the best mean absolute error (MAE) of 18.6313, outperforming the other algorithms and demonstrating the importance of feature selection in improving the accuracy of wind power forecasting. This innovative framework advances the field of renewable energy forecasting and provides valuable insights into optimizing feature sets for improved predictions across diverse domains.

Short-term wind power prediction method based on multivariate signal decomposition and RIME optimization algorithm

Accurate characterization of the dynamics of wind power systems under highly unstable conditions is essential for short-term wind power forecasting. Multivariate factors, such as wind speed, wind direction and climatic factors at different heights, as well as the relationships between them, need to be fully considered. To this end, after the Pearson correlation coefficient is used to identify the main influencing variables, the empirical modal decomposition (MEMD) method is utilized to decompose the data in order to capture the deep coupling relationship and the spatio-temporal pattern of change among the variables. Combined with a bidirectional long and short-term memory network (BiLSTM) optimized through the RIME algorithm, a short-term wind power prediction model was constructed. Data analysis of two wind farms in Xinjiang and Gansu, China, shows that the model has higher prediction accuracy compared to the baseline model. The effectiveness of RIME and MEMD is verified through component ablation experiments and comparison experiments with other optimization algorithms and signal decomposition algorithms. To cope with large-scale data, dimensionality reduction of IMF features using Elastic Net (EN) is explored to reduce computational requirements and maintain good prediction performance. The method provides strong support for power system scheduling and efficient utilization of renewable energy.

Forecasting wind power generation accurately is crucial for reliable, economical, and efficient integrations in smart grids, promoting applications of cleaner energy sources. Although effective wind power forecasting methods exist, power grids still require resilient schemes enabling accurate predictions under cyber-attacks. This paper introduces civil attack (CA) and fast gradient sign method (FGSM) attacks to wind power forecasting to analyze their impacts with countermeasures. The impacts of CA and FGSM attacks on a deep learning-based forecasting method are evaluated, finding FGSM attacks more severe.

To detect and classify attacks, random forest (RF) has outperformed extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), decision tree (DT), support vector machine (SVM), and k-nearest neighbors (KNN). Experimental results on two different zones during CA and FGSM attacks indicate that the decrease in accuracy can be up to 0.4103, 0.3152, and 0.1683 in terms of root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and mean squared error (MSE), respectively. The proposed framework successfully achieves an accuracy of 0.1204, 0.0835, and 0.0145 for the worst case in terms of RMSE, MAE, and MSE, respectively, signifying its importance for academic and industrial applications.

The role of utilizing artificial intelligence and renewable energy in reaching sustainable development goals

Many nations want to use only renewable energy by 2050. Given the recent rapid expansion in RE use in the global energy mix and its progressive impact on the global energy sector, the evaluation and analysis of Renewable Energy's impact on achieving sustainable development goals is insufficient. Wind energy could be renewable. For smart grid supply-and-demand issues, wind power forecasting is critical. One of the biggest challenges of wind energy is its significant fluctuation and intermittent nature, which makes forecasting difficult. This study's goal is to develop data-driven models to predict wind speed and power.

Wind power forecasting based on ensemble deep learning with surrogate-assisted evolutionary neural architecture search and many-objective federated learning

Deep neural networks (DNN) have been widely used in wind power forecasting (WPF), however, they still encounter difficulties such as delayed variable selection, DNN architecture design, and network weight optimization. Therefore, an ensemble cascaded DNN (ECDNN) with surrogate-assisted evolutionary neural architecture search (SEANS) and many-objective federated learning (MOFL) is proposed and referred to as ECDNN-SENAS-MOFL. SEANS is proposed to determine the delayed variables and network architecture efficiently, which allows significantly enhancing the evolutionary search efficiency than traditional evolutionary neural architecture search (ENAS) approaches by employing a surrogate model to achieve fast fitness evaluations. Meanwhile, MOFL is developed by embedding the federated learning into many-objective optimization to obtain more reliable network weights based on the distributed modeling data than traditional centralized learning and federated learning, as well as solving the problems of data privacy protection and data islands. Furthermore, selective ensemble learning is introduced to build high-performance ensemble WPF model by combining the merits of multiple highly influential Pareto solutions. The effectiveness and superiority of the proposed ECDNN-SENAS-MOFL method are verified using an actual wind power dataset. The application results show that the proposed method can provide new insights into data-driven WPF modeling and has a great potential for practical applications.

A Combined Model Based on Secondary Decomposition and Long Short-Term Memory Networks for Enhancing Wind Power Forecast

A novel wind power forecast diffusion model based on prior knowledge

AbstractTo improve the forecast accuracy of wind power, diffusion model based on prior knowledge (DMPK) is proposed. Different from the traditional diffusion model (DM), where the noise perturbation in the diffusion or generation process is random, the noise added in DMPK is modified aiming to the characteristics of wind power signals. The distribution of wind power forecast errors is not a standard Gaussian. Wind power forecast errors are related to forecast methods, weather conditions, and other factors, containing both random signals and certain regularity. This paper adapts the Gaussian distribution to fit the historical forecast error to represent the prior knowledge of wind power. Then, the sampling distribution is derived from its relationship with the fitted prior distribution to replace the standard Gaussian in DM. Taking the prior knowledge into account during the process of noise sampling, the data in the forward process of DMPK can be guided by the distribution of historical errors for diffusion, while the generated result by the reverse process is more consistent with the actual wind power signal. Finally, the superiority of the proposed method is verified by using the wind power data from two real‐world wind farms.

Can we trust explainable artificial intelligence in wind power forecasting?

Advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models typically achieve high accuracy in wind power forecasting, but their internal mechanisms lack interpretability, which undermines user confidence in forecast value and strategy execution. To this end, this paper aims to investigate the interpretability of AI models, which is crucial but usually overlooked in wind power forecasting. Specifically, four model-agnostic explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) techniques (i.e., Shapley additive explanations, permutation feature importance, partial dependence plot, and local interpretable model-agnostic explanations) are tailored to provide global and instance interpretability for AI models in wind power forecasting. Then, several metrics are proposed to evaluate the trustworthiness of interpretations provided by XAI techniques. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed XAI techniques can not only identify important features from wind power datasets, but also enable the understanding of the contribution of each feature to the forecast power output for a specific sample. Furthermore, the proposed evaluation metrics aid users in comprehensively assessing the trustworthiness of XAI techniques in wind power forecasting, enabling them to judiciously select suitable XAI techniques for their AI models.
