The intermittent and uncertain characteristics of wind generation have brought new challenges for the hosting capacity and the integration of large-scale wind power into the power system. Consequently, reasonable forecasting wind power installed capacity (WPIC) is the most effective and applicable solution to meet this challenge. However, the single parameter optimization of the conventional grey model has some limitations in improving its modeling ability. To this end, a novel grey prediction model with parameters combination optimization is proposed in this paper. Firstly, considering the modeling mechanism and process, the order of accumulation generation of the grey prediction model is optimized by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) Algorithm. Secondly, as different orders of accumulation generation correspond to different parameter matrixes, the background value coefficient of the grey prediction model is optimized based on the optimal accumulation order. Finally, the novel model of combinational optimization is employed to simulate and forecast Chinese WPIC, and the comprehensive error of the novel model is only 1.34%, which is superior to the other three grey prediction models (2.82%, 1.68%, and 2.60%, respectively). The forecast shows that China’s WPIC will keep growing in the next five years, and some reasonable suggestions are put forward from the standpoint of the practitioners and governments.

Abstract Currently, the energy development in China is in a critical period of transformation and reform, facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges. Accurate energy consumption forecast is conducive to promoting the diversification of energy development and utilization, and ensuring the healthy and rapid development of China's economy. Based on the existing multivariable grey prediction model, a nonlinear multivariable grey prediction model with parameter optimization is established in this paper, which used the genetic algorithms to find the optimal parameters, and the modelling steps are obtained. Then, the novel model takes the oil natural gas, coal and clean energy in China as the research objects, and the results are compared with the other four grey prediction models. The novel model has higher simulation and prediction accuracy, which is better than the other four grey prediction models. Finally, the novel model is used to predict those four energy consumption forecasts in China from 2020 to 2024. The results show that various energy consumption will further increase, while the fastest growing is clean energy and natural gas, which provides effective information for the Chinese government to formulate energy economic policies.

The purpose of this paper is to solve the prediction problem of nonlinear sequences with multiperiodic features, and a multiperiod grey prediction model based on grey theory and Fourier series is established. For nonlinear sequences with both trend and periodic features, the empirical mode decomposition method is used to decompose the sequences into several periodic terms and a trend term; then, a grey model is used to fit the trend term, and the Fourier series method is used to fit the periodic terms. Finally, the optimization parameters of the model are solved with the objective of obtaining a minimum mean square error. The novel model is applied to research on the loss rate of agricultural droughts in Henan Province. The average absolute error and root mean square error of the empirical analysis are 0.3960 and 0.5086, respectively. The predicted results show that the novel model can effectively fit the loss rate sequence. Compared with other models, the novel model has higher prediction accuracy and is suitable for the prediction of multiperiod sequences.

Accurately forecasting China’s total electricity consumption is of great significance for the government in formulating sustainable economic development policies, especially, China as the largest total electricity consumption country in the world. The calculation method of the background value of the GM(1, 1) model is an important factor of unstable model performance. In this paper, an extrapolation method with variable weights was used for calculating the background value to eliminate the influence of the extreme values on the performance of the GM(1, 1) model, and the novel extrapolation-based grey prediction model called NEGM(1, 1) was proposed and optimized. The NEGM(1, 1) model was then used to simulate the total electricity consumption in China and found to outperform other grey models. Finally, the total electricity consumption of China from 2018 to 2025 was forecasted. The results show that China’s total electricity consumption will be expected to increase slightly, but the total is still very large. For this, some corresponding recommendations to ensure the effective supply of electricity in China are suggested.

As a tool for analyzing time series, grey prediction models have been widely used in various fields of society due to their higher prediction accuracy and the advantages of small sample modeling. The basic GM (1, N) model is the most popular and important grey model, in which the first “1” stands for the “first order” and the second “N” represents the “multivariate.” The construction of the background values is not only an important step in grey modeling but also the key factor that affects the prediction accuracy of the grey prediction models. In order to further improve the prediction accuracy of the multivariate grey prediction models, this paper establishes a novel multivariate grey prediction model based on dynamic background values (abbreviated as DBGM (1, N) model) and uses the whale optimization algorithm to solve the optimal parameters of the model. The DBGM (1, N) model can adapt to different time series by changing parameters to achieve the purpose of improving prediction accuracy. It is a grey prediction model with extremely strong adaptability. Finally, four cases are used to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the model. The results show that the proposed model significantly outperforms the other 2 multivariate grey prediction models.

Aiming at the problem of prediction accuracy of stochastic volatility series, this paper proposes a method to optimize the grey model(GM(1,1)) from the perspective of residual error. In this study, a new fitting method is firstly used, which combines the wavelet function basis and the least square method to fit the residual data of the true value and the predicted value of the grey model(GM(1,1)). The residual prediction function is constructed by using the fitting method. Then, the prediction function of the grey model(GM(1,1)) is modified by the residual prediction function. Finally, an example of the wavelet residual-corrected grey prediction model (WGM) is obtained. The test results show that the fitting accuracy of the wavelet residual-corrected grey prediction model has irreplaceable advantages.

Non-equidistant non-homogenous grey model (abbreviated as NENGM (1,1, k) model) is a grey prediction model suitable for predicting time series with non-equal intervals. It is widely used in various fields of society due to its high prediction accuracy and strong adaptability. In order to further improve the prediction accuracy of the NENGM (1,1, k) model, the NENGM (1,1, k) model is optimized in terms of the cumulative order and background value of the NENGM (1,1, k) model, and a NENGM (1,1, k) model based on double optimization is established (abbreviated as FBNENGM (1,1, k) model), and the whale optimization algorithm is used to solve the best parameters of the model. In order to verify the feasibility and validity of the FBNENGM (1,1, k) model, the FBNENGM (1,1, k) model and other four prediction models are applied to three cases respectively, and three indexes commonly used to evaluate the performance of prediction models are used to distinguish. The results show that the prediction accuracy of the FBNENGM (1,1, k) model based on double optimization is better than other prediction models.

The classical population growth models include the Malthus population growth model and the logistic population growth model, each of which has its advantages and disadvantages. To address the disadvantages of the two models, this paper establishes a grey logistic population growth prediction model, based on the modeling mechanism of the grey prediction model and the characteristics of the logistic model, which uses the least-squares method to estimate the maximum population capacity. In accordance with the data characteristics of population growth, the weakening buffer operator is used to establish the weakening buffer operator grey logistic population growth prediction model, which improves its accuracy, thus improving the classic population prediction model. Four actual case datasets are used simultaneously, and the two classical grey prediction models are compared. The results of the six evaluation indicators show that the effects of the new model demonstrate obvious advantages. Finally, the new model is applied to the population forecast of Chongqing, China. The prediction results suggest that the population may reach a peak in 2020 and decline in the future. This finding is consistent with the logistic population growth model.

The grey prediction model with convolution integral GMC (1,n) is a multiple grey model with exact solutions. To further improve prediction accuracy and describe better the relationship between cause and effect, we introduce nonlinear parameters into GMC (1,n) model and additionally apply a convolution integral to produce an improved forecasting model here designated as NGMC (1,n). The model solving process applied the least-squares method to evaluate the structure parameters of the model: convolution was used to obtain an exact solution with this improved grey model. The nonlinear optimisation took the parameters as the decision variables with the objective of minimising forecasting errors. The GMC (1, 2) and NGMC (1, 2) models were used to predict China’s industrial SO2emissions from the basis of the economic output level as the influencing factor. Results indicated that NGMC (1, 2) can effectively describe the nonlinear relationship between China’s economic output and SO2emissions with an improved accuracy over current GMC (1, 2) models.
