Wind power generation trend prediction is the important to make the plan on the development of wind power generation. Wind power generation prediction by particle swarm optimization algorithm and RBF neural network in the paper. As the connection weights between the hidden layer and output layer, the centers of radial basis function in hidden layer and the widths of radial basis function in hidden layer have a great influence on the prediction results of RBF neural network,particle swarm optimization which has a great global optimization ability is used to optimize the three parameters including the connection weights between the hidden layer and output layer, the centers of radial basis function in hidden layer and the widths of radial basis function in hidden layer. It is indicated that the hybrid model of particle swarm optimization algorithm and RBF neural network has better prediction ability than BP neural network.

Wind speed and wind power generation are characterized by their inherent variability and uncertainty. To overcome this drawback, an accurate prediction of wind speed is essential. The purpose of this article is to develop a hybrid wavelet neural network model for wind speed forecasting and thus, in turn, for wind power generation. The combined optimal economic scheduling of the wind generators and conventional generators has also been investigated in this article. This article proposes shuffled frog leap algorithm for solving economic dispatch problem in power systems. The non-linear characteristics of the generator such as prohibited operating zone and non-smooth functions are considered. The feasibility of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated for 5 units, 6 units and 15 units systems and it is compared with the existing solution techniques. The results show that the proposed algorithm is indeed capable of handling economic dispatch problems.

Wind power, as a renewable energy resource, has taken much attention of the energy authorities in many countries, as it is used as one of the major energy sources to satisfy the ever-increasing energy demand. However, careful attention is needed in identifying the wind power potential in a particular area due to climate changes. In this sense, forecasting both wind power generation and wind power potential is essential. This paper develops artificial neural network (ANN) models to forecast wind power generation in “Pawan Danawi”, a functioning wind farm in Sri Lanka. Wind speed, wind direction, and ambient temperature of the area were used as the independent variable matrices of the developed ANN models, while the generated wind power was used as the dependent variable. The models were tested with three training algorithms, namely, Levenberg-Marquardt (LM), Scaled Conjugate Gradient (SCG), and Bayesian Regularization (BR) training algorithms. In addition, the model was calibrated for five validation percentages (5% to 25% in 5% intervals) under each algorithm to identify the best training algorithm with the most suitable training and validation percentages. Mean squared error (MSE), coefficient of correlation (R), root mean squared error ratio (RSR), Nash number, and BIAS were used to evaluate the performance of the developed ANN models. Results revealed that all three training algorithms produce acceptable predictions for the power generation in the Pawan Danawi wind farm with R > 0.91, MSE < 0.22, and BIAS < 1. Among them, the LM training algorithm at 70% of training and 5% of validation percentages produces the best forecasting results. The developed models can be effectively used in the prediction of wind power at the Pawan Danawi wind farm. In addition, the models can be used with the projected climatic scenarios in predicting the future wind power harvest. Furthermore, the models can acceptably be used in similar environmental and climatic conditions to identify the wind power potential of the area.

Abstract Floating offshore wind turbines hold great potential for future solutions to the growing demand for renewable energy production. Thereafter, the prediction of the offshore wind power generation became critical in locating and designing wind farms and turbines. The purpose of this research is to improve the prediction of the offshore wind power generation by the prediction of local wind speed using a Deep Learning technique. In this paper, the future local wind speed is predicted based on the historical weather data collected from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Then, the prediction of the wind power generation is performed using the traditional methods using the future wind speed data predicted using Deep Learning. The network layers are designed using both Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Bi-directional LSTM (BLSTM), known to be effective on capturing long-term time-dependency. The selected networks are fine-tuned, trained using a part of the weather data, and tested using the other part of the data. To evaluate the performance of the networks, a parameter study has been performed to find the relationships among: length of the training data, prediction accuracy, and length of the future prediction that is reliable given desired prediction accuracy and the training size.
