Wind power generation is likely to hinder the safe and stable operations of power systems for its irregularity, intermittency, and non-smoothness. Since wind power is continuously connected to power systems, the step length required for predicting wind power is increasingly extended, thereby causing an increasing cumulative error. Correcting the cumulative error to predict wind power in multi-step is an urgent problem that needs to be solved. In this study, a multi-step wind power prediction method was proposed by exploiting improved TCN to correct the cumulative error. First, multi-scale convolution (MSC) and self-attentiveness (SA) were adopted to optimize the problem that a single-scale convolution kernel of TCN is difficult to extract temporal and spatial features at different scales of the input sequence. The MSC-SA-TCN model was built to recognize and extract different features exhibited by the input sequence to improve the accuracy and stability of the single-step prediction of wind power. On that basis, the multi-channel time convolutional network with multiple input and multiple output codec technologies was adopted to build the nonlinear mapping between the output and input of the TCN multi-step prediction. The method improved the problem that a single TCN is difficult to tap the different nonlinear relationships between the multi-step prediction output and the fixed input. The MMED-TCN multi-step wind power prediction model was developed to separate linearity and nonlinearity between input and output to reduce the multi-step prediction error. An experimental comparative analysis was conducted based on the measured data from two wind farms in Shuangzitai, Liaoning, and Keqi, Inner Mongolia. As revealed from the results, the MAE and RMSE of the MMED-TCN-based multi-step prediction model achieved the cumulative mean values of 0.0737 and 0.1018. The MAE and RMSE metrics outperformed those of the VMD-AMS-TCN and MSC-SA-TCN models. It can be seen that the wind power prediction method proposed in this study could improve the feature extraction ability of TCN for input sequences and the ability of mining the mapping relationship between multiple inputs and multiple outputs. The method is superior in terms of the accuracy and stability of wind power prediction.

Due to the features of being fluctuant, intermittent, and stochastic of wind power, interconnection of large capacity wind farms with the power grid will bring about impact on the safety and stability of power systems. Based on the real-time wind power data, wind power prediction model using Elman neural network is proposed. At the same time in order to overcome the disadvantages of the Elman neural network for easily fall into local minimum and slow convergence speed, this paper put forward using the GA algorithm to optimize the weight and threshold of Elman neural network. Through the analysis of the measured data of one wind farm, shows that the forecasting method can improve the accuracy of the wind power prediction, so it has great practical value.

Wind power is intermittent and volatility. Some new problems would arise to power system operation when Large-scale wind farm is connected with power systems. One of the most important effect is the influence on the grid dispatch. An aggregated wind power prediction method for a region is presented. By means of analyzing power characteristics and correlation, then the greater correlation is selected as model input. Based on grey correlation theory, a least squares support vector machine prediction model is established. Finally, this method is executed on a real case and integrated wind power prediction method can effectively improve the prediction accuracy and simplify the prediction step are proved.

In long-term wind power prediction, dealing with the relevant factors correctly is the key point to improve the prediction accuracy. This paper presents a prediction method with rough set analysis. The key factors that affect the wind power prediction are identified by rough set theory. The chaotic characteristics of wind speed time series are analyzed. The rough set neural network prediction model is built by adding the key factors as the additional inputs to the chaotic neural network model. Data of Fujin wind farm are used for this paper to verify the new method of long-term wind power prediction. The results show that rough set method is a useful tool in long-term prediction of wind power.

The accuracy of wind power prediction directly affects the operation cost of power grid and is the result of power grid supply and demand balance. Therefore, how to improve the prediction accuracy of wind power is very important. In order to improve the prediction accuracy of wind power, a prediction model based on wavelet denoising and improved slime mold algorithm optimized support vector machine is proposed. The wavelet denoising algorithm is used to denoise the wind power data, and then the support vector machine is used as the prediction model. Because the prediction results of support vector machine are greatly affected by model parameters, an improved slime mold optimization algorithm with random inertia weight mechanism is used to determine the best penalty factor and kernel function parameters in support vector machine model. The effectiveness of the proposed prediction model is verified by using two groups actually collected wind power data. Seven prediction models are selected as the comparison model. Through the comparison between the predicted value and the actual value, the prediction error and its histogram distribution, the performance indicators, the Pearson’s correlation coefficient, the DM test, box-plot distribution, the results show that the proposed prediction model has high prediction accuracy.

The accuracy of short-term wind power forecast is important for the power system operation. Based on the real-time wind power data, a wind power prediction model using wavelet neural network (WNN) is proposed. In order to overcome such disadvantages of WNN as easily falling into local minimum, this paper put forward using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm to optimize the weight and threshold of WNN. It’s advisable to use Support Vector Machine (SVM) to comparatively do prediction and put two outcomes as input vector for Generalized Regression Neural Network (GRNN) to do nonlinear combination forecasting. Simulation shows that combination prediction model can improve the accuracy of the short-term wind power prediction.
