Several machine learning algorithms (MLAs) have recently been developed for PV energy forecasting. This paper discusses various machine learning (ML) techniques for predicting the power output of a PV plant connected to the grid. Multiple algorithms, including linear regression (LR), neural networks (NNs), deep learning (DL), and k-nearest neighbors (k-NNs), are evaluated. The models use real-time data collected from various weather sensors and electrical output over a year, including solar irradiance, ambient temperature, wind speed, and cell temperature, to forecast PV power generation. Over a medium-term horizon, forecasting accuracy is assessed using datasets covering an entire week. The models are analyzed based on multiple performance metrics, such as absolute error (AE), root mean square error (RMSE), normalized absolute error (NAE), relative error (RE), relative root square error (RRSE), and correlation coefficient (R). The results indicate that the deep learning algorithm achieves the highest accuracy, with an RMSE of 0.026, an AE of 0.014, an NAE of 0.064, and an R of 99.7% for the weekly forecast validation. These precise forecasts produced in this research could assist grid operators in managing the variability of PV power output and planning to integrate fluctuating PV energy into the grid.展开更多

Wind Power Forecasting (WPF) is essential for boosting energy efficiency and maintaining the operational stability of power grids. However, predicting wind power comes with significant challenges, such as weather uncertainties, wind variability, complex terrain, limited data, insufficient measurement infrastructure, intricate interdependencies, and short lead times. These factors make it difficult to accurately forecast wind behavior and respond to sudden power output changes. This study aims to precisely forecast electricity generation from wind turbines, minimize grid operation uncertainties, and enhance grid reliability. It leverages historical wind farm data and Numerical Weather Prediction data, using k-Nearest Neighbors for pre-processing, K-means clustering for categorization, and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks for training and testing, with model performance evaluated across multiple metrics. The Grey Wolf Optimized (GWO) LSTM classification technique, a deep learning model suited to time series analysis, effectively handles temporal dependencies in input data through memory cells and gradient-based optimization. Inspired by grey wolves’ hunting strategies, GWO is a population-based metaheuristic optimization algorithm known for its strong performance across diverse optimization tasks. The proposed Grey Wolf Optimized Deep Learning model achieves an R-squared value of 0.97279, demonstrating that it explains 97.28% of the variance in wind power data. This model surpasses a reference study that achieved an R-squared value of 0.92 with a hybrid deep learning approach but did not account for outliers or anomalous data.展开更多

To take full advantage of the environmental benefits of wind energy, wind power forecasting has to be studied to overcome the troubles brought by the variable nature of wind. Power forecasting for regional wind farm groups is the problem that many power system operators care about. The high-dimensional feature sets with redundant information are frequently encountered when dealing with this problem. In this paper, two kinds of feature set construction methods are proposed which can achieve the proper feature set either by selecting the subsets or by transforming the original variables with specific combinations. The former method selects the subset according to the criterion of minimal-redundancy-maximal-relevance (mRMR), while the latter does so based on the method of principal component analysis (PCA). A locally weighted learning method is also proposed to utilize the processed feature set to produce the power forecast results. The proposed model is simple and easy to use with parameters optimized automatically. Finally, a case study of 28 wind farms in East China is provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

The characteristics of temporal and spatial dependence have been modelled, and their influences on wind power integrations have been analyzed.Model comparisons indicate that the proposed model can reveal the essential relationships of wind power forecasting uncertainty, and describe the various dependences more accurately.展开更多

In this study, the GARCH type models are employed to explore the asymmetric features of wind power time series and improved forecasting precision. Benchmark Symmetric Curve (BSC) and Asymmetric Curve Index (ACI) are proposed as new asymmetric volatility analytical tool, and several generalized applications are presented. In the case study, the utility of the GARCH-type models in depicting time-varying volatility of wind power time series is demonstrated with the asymmetry effect, verified by the asymmetric parameter estimation. With benefit of the enhanced News Impact Curve (NIC) analysis, the responses in volatility to the magnitude and the sign of shocks are emphasized. The results are all confirmed to be consistent despite varied model specifications. The case study verifies that the models considering the asymmetric effect of volatility benefit the wind power forecasting performance.展开更多

文摘Precise forecasting of solar power is crucial for the development of sustainable energy systems.Contemporary forecasting approaches often fail to adequately consider the crucial role of weather factors in photovoltaic(PV)power generation and encounter issues such as gradient explosion or disappearance when dealing with extensive time-series data.To overcome these challenges,this research presents a cutting-edge,multi-stage forecasting method called D-Informer.This method skillfully merges the differential transformation algorithm with the Informer model,leveraging a detailed array of meteorological variables and historical PV power generation records.The D-Informer model exhibits remarkable superiority over competing models across multiple performance metrics,achieving on average a 67.64%reduction in mean squared error(MSE),a 49.58%decrease in mean absolute error(MAE),and a 43.43%reduction in root mean square error(RMSE).Moreover,it attained an R2 value as high as 0.9917 during the winter season,highlighting its precision and dependability.This significant advancement can be primarily attributed to the incorporation of a multi-head self-attention mechanism,which greatly enhances the model’s ability to identify complex interactions among diverse input variables,and the inclusion of weather variables,enriching the model’s input data and strengthening its predictive accuracy in time series analysis.Additionally,the experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
文摘Due to the variability and unpredictability of solar power, which relies heavily on weather variables such as solar irradiance and temperature, precise forecasting of photovoltaic (PV) energy production is crucial for effectively planning and operating power systems incorporating solar technology. Several machine learning algorithms (MLAs) have recently been developed for PV energy forecasting. This paper discusses various machine learning (ML) techniques for predicting the power output of a PV plant connected to the grid. Multiple algorithms, including linear regression (LR), neural networks (NNs), deep learning (DL), and k-nearest neighbors (k-NNs), are evaluated. The models use real-time data collected from various weather sensors and electrical output over a year, including solar irradiance, ambient temperature, wind speed, and cell temperature, to forecast PV power generation. Over a medium-term horizon, forecasting accuracy is assessed using datasets covering an entire week. The models are analyzed based on multiple performance metrics, such as absolute error (AE), root mean square error (RMSE), normalized absolute error (NAE), relative error (RE), relative root square error (RRSE), and correlation coefficient (R). The results indicate that the deep learning algorithm achieves the highest accuracy, with an RMSE of 0.026, an AE of 0.014, an NAE of 0.064, and an R of 99.7% for the weekly forecast validation. These precise forecasts produced in this research could assist grid operators in managing the variability of PV power output and planning to integrate fluctuating PV energy into the grid.
文摘Wind power generation is among the most promising and eco-friendly energy sources today. Wind Power Forecasting (WPF) is essential for boosting energy efficiency and maintaining the operational stability of power grids. However, predicting wind power comes with significant challenges, such as weather uncertainties, wind variability, complex terrain, limited data, insufficient measurement infrastructure, intricate interdependencies, and short lead times. These factors make it difficult to accurately forecast wind behavior and respond to sudden power output changes. This study aims to precisely forecast electricity generation from wind turbines, minimize grid operation uncertainties, and enhance grid reliability. It leverages historical wind farm data and Numerical Weather Prediction data, using k-Nearest Neighbors for pre-processing, K-means clustering for categorization, and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks for training and testing, with model performance evaluated across multiple metrics. The Grey Wolf Optimized (GWO) LSTM classification technique, a deep learning model suited to time series analysis, effectively handles temporal dependencies in input data through memory cells and gradient-based optimization. Inspired by grey wolves’ hunting strategies, GWO is a population-based metaheuristic optimization algorithm known for its strong performance across diverse optimization tasks. The proposed Grey Wolf Optimized Deep Learning model achieves an R-squared value of 0.97279, demonstrating that it explains 97.28% of the variance in wind power data. This model surpasses a reference study that achieved an R-squared value of 0.92 with a hybrid deep learning approach but did not account for outliers or anomalous data.

文摘Wind power forecasting(WPF)is important for safe,stable,and reliable integration of new energy technologies into power systems.Machine learning(ML)algorithms have recently attracted increasing attention in the field of WPF.However,opaque decisions and lack of trustworthiness of black-box models for WPF could cause scheduling risks.This study develops a method for identifying risky models in practical applications and avoiding the risks.First,a local interpretable model-agnostic explanations algorithm is introduced and improved for WPF model analysis.On that basis,a novel index is presented to quantify the level at which neural networks or other black-box models can trust features involved in training.Then,by revealing the operational mechanism for local samples,human interpretability of the black-box model is examined under different accuracies,time horizons,and seasons.This interpretability provides a basis for several technical routes for WPF from the viewpoint of the forecasting model.Moreover,further improvements in accuracy of WPF are explored by evaluating possibilities of using interpretable ML models that use multi-horizons global trust modeling and multi-seasons interpretable feature selection methods.Experimental results from a wind farm in China show that error can be robustly reduced.

文摘Wind power forecasting(WPF)accuracy is fundamentally constrained by two critical challenges.First,the high-order nonlinear relationship between wind speed(WS)and power(WP)substantially amplifies errors inherent in numerical weather prediction(NWP)data.Second,conventional models process all input features uniformly,failing to distinguish the dominant role of the primary driving feature from the complementary roles of auxiliary features.To decouple and address these challenges,this paper proposes a novel forecasting method(CFRM-DCM)that integrates a Correction Factor Representation Model(CFRM)and a Dual-Channel Mechanism(DCM).The CFRM is first employed to address the NWP error.It describes the complex correlation and forecasting error between measured WS and NWP WS as correction factors.A generative adversarial network(GAN)is then utilized to learn the distribution of these factors and output a corrected,more accurate WS.This corrected data is then fed into the DCM,a dual-branch architecture designed to enhance complex feature extraction,overcoming the limitations of traditional single-channel structures.The proposed method is validated on four wind farms.Simulation results demonstrate that the CFRM-DCM method achieves significant improvements in WPF accuracy,with error reductions ranging from 3.9%to 9.4%across ultra-short-term and short-term timescales.This enhanced WPF performance is directly attributed to the model’s ability to first improve WS accuracy,with gains of 8.8%,7.6%,8.3%,and 8.8%for the respective farms.
文摘Accurate predictions of wind power generation several months in advance are crucial for the effective operation and maintenance of wind farms and for facilitating efficient power purchase planning.This study evaluates the performance of the seasonal prediction system of the National Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting in forecasting near-surface winds.An analysis of 23 years of hindcast data,from 1993 to 2015,indicates that the seasonal prediction system effectively captures the inter-annual variability of near-surface winds.Specifically,predictions initialized in May demonstrate notable accuracy,with a skill score of 0.78 in predicting the sign of wind speed anomalies aggregated across various wind farms during the high wind season(June to August).Additionally,we critically examine the peculiarity of a case study from 2020,when the Indian wind industry experienced low power generation.To enhance forecasting accuracy,we employ statistical techniques to produce bias-corrected forecasts on a seasonal scale.This approach improves the accuracy of wind speed predictions at turbine hub height.Our assessment,based on root mean square error,reveals that bias-corrected wind speed forecasts show a significant improvement,ranging from 54%to 93%.

文摘Existing power forecasting models struggle to simultaneously handle high-dimensional,noisy load data while capturing long-term dependencies.This critical limitation necessitates an integrated approach combining dimensionality reduction,temporal modeling,and robust prediction,especially for multi-day forecasting.A novel hybrid model,SLHS-TCN-XGBoost,is proposed for power demand forecasting,leveraging SLHS(dimensionality reduction),TCN(temporal feature learning),and XGBoost(ensemble prediction).Applied to the three-year electricity load dataset of Seoul,South Korea,the model’s MAE,RMSE,and MAPE reached 112.08,148.39,and 2%,respectively,which are significantly reduced in MAE,RMSE,and MAPE by 87.37%,87.35%,and 87.43%relative to the baseline XGBoost model.Performance validation across nine forecast days demonstrates superior accuracy,with MAPE as low as 0.35%and 0.21%on key dates.Statistical Significance tests confirm significant improvements(p<0.05),with the highest MAPE reduction of 98.17%on critical days.Seasonal and temporal error analyses reveal stable performance,particularly in Quarter 3 and Quarter 4(0.5%,0.3%)and nighttime hours(<1%).Robustness tests,including 5-fold cross-validation and Various noise perturbations,confirm the model’s stability and resilience.The SLHS-TCN-XGBoost model offers an efficient and reliable solution for power demand forecasting,with future optimization potential in data preprocessing,algorithm integration,and interpretability.

文摘The rapidly increasing wind power penetration presents new challenges to the operation of power systems.Improving the accuracy of wind power forecasting is a possible solution under this circumstance.In the power forecasting of mul-tiple wind farms,determining the spatio-temporal correlation of multiple wind farms is critical for improving the forecasting accuracy.This paper proposes a spatio-temporal convolutional network(STCN)that utilizes a directed graph convolutional structure.A temporal convolutional network is also adopted to characterize the temporal features of wind power.Historical data from 15 wind farms in Australia are used in the case study.The forecasting results show that the proposed model has higher accuracy than the existing methods.Based on the structure of the STCN,asymmetric spatial correlation at different temporal scales can be observed,which shows the effectiveness of the proposed model.
文摘Unlike the traditional fossil energy, wind, as the clean renewable energy, can reduce the emission of the greenhouse gas. To take full advantage of the environmental benefits of wind energy, wind power forecasting has to be studied to overcome the troubles brought by the variable nature of wind. Power forecasting for regional wind farm groups is the problem that many power system operators care about. The high-dimensional feature sets with redundant information are frequently encountered when dealing with this problem. In this paper, two kinds of feature set construction methods are proposed which can achieve the proper feature set either by selecting the subsets or by transforming the original variables with specific combinations. The former method selects the subset according to the criterion of minimal-redundancy-maximal-relevance (mRMR), while the latter does so based on the method of principal component analysis (PCA). A locally weighted learning method is also proposed to utilize the processed feature set to produce the power forecast results. The proposed model is simple and easy to use with parameters optimized automatically. Finally, a case study of 28 wind farms in East China is provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

文摘The uncertainty of wind power forecasting significantly influences power systems with high percentage of wind power generation. Despite the wind power forecasting error causation, the temporal and spatial dependence of prediction errors has done great influence in specific applications, such as multistage scheduling and aggregated wind power integration. In this paper, Pair-Copula theory has been introduced to construct a multivariate model which can fully considers the margin distribution and stochastic dependence characteristics of wind power forecasting errors. The characteristics of temporal and spatial dependence have been modelled, and their influences on wind power integrations have been analyzed.Model comparisons indicate that the proposed model can reveal the essential relationships of wind power forecasting uncertainty, and describe the various dependences more accurately.

文摘Wind power forecasting is of great significance to the safety, reliability and stability of power grid. In this study, the GARCH type models are employed to explore the asymmetric features of wind power time series and improved forecasting precision. Benchmark Symmetric Curve (BSC) and Asymmetric Curve Index (ACI) are proposed as new asymmetric volatility analytical tool, and several generalized applications are presented. In the case study, the utility of the GARCH-type models in depicting time-varying volatility of wind power time series is demonstrated with the asymmetry effect, verified by the asymmetric parameter estimation. With benefit of the enhanced News Impact Curve (NIC) analysis, the responses in volatility to the magnitude and the sign of shocks are emphasized. The results are all confirmed to be consistent despite varied model specifications. The case study verifies that the models considering the asymmetric effect of volatility benefit the wind power forecasting performance.
