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.

Based on the nonlinearity of energy consumption systems and the influence of multiple factors, this paper presents a nonlinear multivariable grey prediction model with parameter optimization and estimates the parameters and the approximate time response function of the model. Next, a genetic algorithm is applied to optimize the nonlinear terms of the novel model to seek the optimal parameters, and the modelling steps are outlined. Then, to assess the effectiveness of the novel model, this paper adopts Chinese oil, gas, coal and clean energy as research objects, and three classical grey forecasting models and one time series method are chosen for comparison. The results indicate that the new model attains a high simulation and prediction accuracy, basically higher than that of the three grey prediction models and the time series method.

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.

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.

Piercing manufacture of seamless tubes is the process that pierces solid blank into tube hollow. Piercing efficiency and energy consumption are the important indexes in the production of seamless tubes. Piercing process has the multivariate, nonlinear, cross-coupling characteristics. The complex factors that affect efficiency and consumption make it difficult to establish the mechanism models for optimization. Based on the production process, this paper divides the piercing process into three parts and proposes the piercing efficiency and energy consumption prediction models based on mean value staged KELM-PLS method. On the basis of mean value staged KELM-PLS prediction model, the minimum piercing energy consumption and maximum piercing efficiency are calculated by genetic optimization algorithm. Simulation and experiment prove that the optimization method based on the piercing efficiency and energy consumption prediction model can obtain the optimal process parameters effectively and also provide reliable evidences for practical production.

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.

The k-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm is vulnerable to noise, which is rooted in the dataset and has negative effects on its accuracy. Hence, various researchers employ variable minimization techniques before predicting the KNN in the quest so as to improve its predictive capability. The genetic algorithm (GA) is the most widely used metaheuristics for such purpose; however, the GA suffers a problem that its mating scheme is bounded on its crossover operator. Thus, the use of the novel inversed bi-segmented average crossover (IBAX) is observed. In the present work, the crossover improved genetic algorithm (CIGAL) is instrumental in the enhancement of KNN’s prediction accuracy. The use of the unmodified genetic algorithm has removed 13 variables, while the CIGAL then further removes 20 variables from the 30 total variables in the faculty evaluation dataset. Consequently, the integration of the CIGAL to the KNN (CIGAL-KNN) prediction model improves the KNN prediction accuracy to 95.53%. In contrast to the model of having the unmodified genetic algorithm (GA-KNN), the use of the lone KNN algorithmand the prediction accuracy is only at 89.94% and 87.15%, respectively. To validate the accuracy of the models, the use of the 10-folds cross-validation technique reveals 93.13%, 89.27%, and 87.77% prediction accuracy of the CIGAL-KNN, GA-KNN, and KNN prediction models, respectively. As the result, the CIGAL carried out an optimized GA performance and increased the accuracy of the KNN algorithm as a prediction model.

The pH of water directly affects growth of mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis H. Milne-Edwards, 1853) in aquaculture. A prediction model was set up to determine the changing trend of pH value during culture of mitten crabs. The model would help the farmer to take measures in advance to maintain the safety of cultured crabs, when the predicted value of pH is found to cross beyond safe levels. Prediction model of pH is based on the least squares support vector regression (LSSVR) model with chaotic mutation to improve the estimation of the distribution algorithm (CMEDA) to find optimal parameters (γ and σ) of LSSVR. Because these two parameters can significantly affect the performance of the LSSVR, the other three parameter optimisation methods viz., the particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithm, the genetic algorithm (GA) and grid search (GS) algorithm were used to compare with the CMEDA algorithm. The calculated mean absolute percentage errors of the results of the four prediction models were 0.4059, 0.6332, 0.9385 and 1.2499%, respectively. The CMEDA-LSSVR model has a higher prediction accuracy and more reliable performance than the other models. The prediction model was used in Xinhua, Jiangsu Province, China and it performed well and helped farmers make decisions and reduce aquaculture risks.
