Ultra-short-term wind power prediction is of great importance for the integration of renewable energy. It is the foundation of probabilistic prediction and even a slight increase in the prediction accuracy can exert significant improvement for the safe and economic operation of power systems. However, due to the complex spatiotemporal relationship and the intrinsic characteristic of nonlinear, randomness and intermittence, the prediction of regional wind farm clusters and each wind farm’s power is still a challenge. In this paper, a framework based on graph neural network and numerical weather prediction (NWP) is proposed for the ultra-short-term wind power prediction. First, the adjacent matrix of wind farms, which are regarded as the vertexes of a graph, is defined based on geographical distance. Second, two graph neural networks are designed to extract the spatiotemporal feature of historical wind power and NWP information separately. Then, these features are fused based on multi-modal learning. Third, to enhance the efficiency of prediction method, a multi-task learning method is adopted to extract the common feature of the regional wind farm cluster and it can output the prediction of each wind farm at the same time. The cases of a wind farm cluster located in Northeast China verified that the accuracy of a regional wind farm cluster power prediction is improved, and the time consumption increases slowly when the number of wind farms grows. The results indicate that this method has great potential to be used in large-scale wind farm clusters.

Abstract Accurate wind power prediction is an important way to promote large-scale wind power grid connection. First, to address the abnormal wind farm actual measurement data caused by wind abandonment and power limitation, the DBSCAN method is used to pre-process the wind farm actual measurement data and eliminate the abnormal data. Then, a short-term wind power prediction model with a combination of GA-LSSVM and ARIMA weights is established, and the Lagrange multiplier algorithm is used to obtain the weighted values of each single model in the combined model to further obtain the wind power prediction results. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by arithmetic examples, and the results show that the proposed model and method can effectively improve the prediction accuracy of short-term wind power.

Short-term wind power prediction is a primary requirement for efficient large-scale integration of wind generation in power systems and electricity markets. The choice of an appropriate prediction model among the numerous available models is not trivial, and has to be based on an objective evaluation of model performance. This paper proposes a standardized protocol for the evaluation of short-term windpower prediction systems. A number of reference prediction models are also described, and their use for performance comparison is analysed. The use of the protocol is demonstrated, using results from both on-shore and offshore wind farms. The work was developed in the frame of the Anemos project (EU R&D project) where the protocol has been used to evaluate more than 10 prediction systems.

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.

The randomness and volatility of wind power poses a serious threat to the stability, continuity, and adjustability of the power system when it is connected to the grid. Accurate short-term wind power prediction methods have important practical value for achieving high-precision prediction of wind farm power generation and safety and economic dispatch. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel combined model to improve the accuracy of short-term wind power prediction, which involves grey correlation degree analysis, ESMD (extreme-point symmetric mode decomposition), sample entropy (SampEn) theory, and a hybrid prediction model based on three prediction algorithms. The meteorological data at different times and altitudes is firstly selected as the influencing factors of wind power. Then, the wind power sub-series obtained by the ESMD method is reconstructed into three wind power characteristic components, namely PHC (high frequency component of wind power), PMC (medium frequency component of wind power), and PLC (low frequency component of wind power). Similarly, the wind speed sub-series obtained by the ESMD method is reconstructed into three wind speed characteristic components, called SHC (high frequency component of wind speed), SMC (medium frequency component of wind speed), and SLC (low frequency component of wind speed). Subsequently, the Bat-BP model, Adaboost-ENN model, and ENN (Elman neural network), which have high forecasting accuracy, are selected to predict PHC, PMC, and PLC, respectively. Finally, the prediction results of three characteristic components are aggregated into the final prediction values of the original wind power series. To evaluate the prediction performance of the proposed combined model, 15-min wind power and meteorological data from the wind farm in China are adopted as case studies. The prediction results show that the combined model shows better performance in short-term wind power prediction compared with other models.

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.

Improving accuracy of short-term wind speed prediction is the key of wind power prediction. The authors have studied the short-term wind power forecasting of power plants and proposed a model prediction method based on SVM with backstepping wind speed of power curve.

Wind energy has been connected to the power system on a large scale with the advantage of little pollution and large reserves. While ramping events under the influence of extreme weather will cause damage to the safe and stable operation of power system. It is significant to promote the consumption of renewable energy by improving the power prediction accuracy of ramping events. This paper presents a wind power prediction model of ramping events based on classified spatiotemporal network. Firstly, the spinning door algorithm builds parallelograms to identify ramping events from historical data. Due to the rarity of ramping events, the serious shortage of samples restricts the accuracy of the prediction model. By using generative adversarial network for training, simulated ramping data are generated to expand the database. After obtaining sufficient data, classification and type prediction of ramping events are carried out, and the type probability is calculated. Combined with the probability weight, the spatiotemporal neural network considering numerical weather prediction data is used to realize power prediction. Finally, the effectiveness of the model is verified by the actual measurement data of a wind farm in Northeast China.

Wind power forecasting (WPF) is imperative to the control and dispatch of the power grid. Firstly, an ultra-short-term prediction method based on multilayer bidirectional gated recurrent unit (Bi-GRU) and fully connected (FC) layer is proposed. The layers of Bi-GRU extract the temporal feature information of wind power and meteorological data, and the FC layer predicts wind power by changing dimensions to match the output vector. Furthermore, a transfer learning (TL) strategy is utilized to establish the prediction model of a target wind farm with fewer data and less training time based on the source wind farm. The proposed method is validated on two wind farms located in China and the results prove its superior prediction performance compared with other approaches.
