When a photovoltaic (PV) system is connected to the electric power grid, the power system reliability may be exposed to a threat due to its inherent randomness and volatility. Consequently, predicting PV power generation becomes necessary for reasonable power distribution scheduling. A hybrid model based on an improved bird swarm algorithm (IBSA) with extreme learning machine (ELM) algorithm, i.e., IBSAELM, was developed in this study for better prediction of the short-term PV output power. The IBSA model was initially used to optimize the hidden layer threshold and input weight of the ELM model. Further, the obtained optimal parameters were input into the ELM model for predicting short-term PV power. The results revealed that the IBSAELM model is superior in terms of the prediction accuracy compared to existing methods, such as support vector machine (SVM), back propagation neural network (BP), Gaussian process regression (GPR), and bird swarm algorithm with extreme learning machine (BSAELM) models. Accordingly, it achieved great benefits in terms of the utilization efficiency of whole power generation. Furthermore, the stability of the power grid was well maintained, resulting in balanced power generation, transmission, and electricity consumption.

Short-term traffic flow forecasting is the technical basis of the intelligent transportation system (ITS). Higher precision, short-term traffic flow forecasting plays an important role in alleviating road congestion and improving traffic management efficiency. In order to improve the accuracy of short-term traffic flow forecasting, an improved bird swarm optimizer (IBSA) is used to optimize the random parameters of the extreme learning machine (ELM). In addition, the improved bird swarm optimization extreme learning machine (IBSAELM) model is established to predict short-term traffic flow. The main researches in this paper are as follows: (1) The bird swarm optimizer (BSA) is prone to fall into the local optimum, so the distribution mechanism of the BSA optimizer is improved. The first five percent of the particles with better fitness values are selected as producers. The last ten percent of the particles with worse fitness values are selected as beggars. (2) The one-day and two-day traffic flows are predicted by the support vector machine (SVM), particle swarm optimization support vector machine (PSOSVM), bird swarm optimization extreme learning machine (BSAELM) and IBSAELM models, respectively. (3) The prediction results of the models are evaluated. For the one-day traffic flow sequence, the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) values of the IBSAELM model are smaller than the SVM, PSOSVM and BSAELM models, respectively. The experimental analysis results show that the IBSAELM model proposed in this study can meet the actual engineering requirements.

With the continuous maturity of China's power grid as well as the advancement of electricity market reform in China, accurate and efficient investment decision has become an inevitable requirement of power grid enterprises. However, China's Power grid investment demand has complicated nonlinear and non-stationary characteristics due to it's complex causes of formation, thus make it hard to be forecasted. Aiming at this problem, this paper puts forward a novel hybrid VMD-RELMLOO-PSOSVM forecasting model based on variational mode decomposition (VMD), leave-one-out cross validation error based optimal regularized extreme learning machine (RELM-LOO) and support vector machines optimized by particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO-SVM). Firstly, the VMD method is employed to decompose the original power grid investment data sequence into several modes which have specific sparsity properties while producing main signal. Then, according to the different characteristics of each subsequence, the RELM-LOO and PSO-SVM model will be used to forecast different modes, respectively; Next, the prediction results of all modes are aggregated to obtain the final prediction results of China's power grid investment demand. Finally, this paper predicts China's power grid investment demand from 2018 to 2020 under 5 different scenarios based on the proposed VMD-RELMLOO-PSOSVM hybrid forecasting model.

Day-ahead electricity price forecasting plays a critical role in balancing energy consumption and generation, optimizing the decisions of electricity market participants, formulating energy trading strategies, and dispatching independent system operators. Despite the fact that much research on price forecasting has been published in recent years, it remains a difficult task because of the challenging nature of electricity prices that includes seasonality, sharp fluctuations in price, and high volatility. This study presents a three-stage short-term electricity price forecasting model by employing ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and extreme learning machine (ELM). In the proposed model, the EEMD is employed to decompose the actual price signals to overcome the non-linear and non-stationary components in the electricity price data. Then, a day-ahead forecasting is performed using the ELM model. We conduct several experiments on real-time data obtained from three different states of the electricity market in Australia, i.e., Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria. We also implement various deep learning approaches as benchmark methods, i.e., recurrent neural network, multi-layer perception, support vector machine, and ELM. In order to affirm the performance of our proposed and benchmark approaches, this study performs several performance evaluation metric, including the Diebold–Mariano (DM) test. The results from the experiments show the productiveness of our developed model (in terms of higher accuracy) over its counterparts.
