The ability to predict wind speeds is very important for the security and stability of wind farms and power system operations. Wind speeds typically vary slowly over time, which makes them difficult to forecast. In this study, a hybrid nonlinear estimation approach combining Gaussian process (GP) and unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is proposed to predict dynamic changes of wind speed and improve forecasting accuracy. The proposed approach can provide both point and interval predictions for wind speed. Firstly, the GP method is established as the nonlinear transition function of a state space model, and the covariance obtained from the GP predictive model is used as the process noise. Secondly, UKF is used to solve the state space model and update the initial prediction of short-term wind speed. The proposed hybrid approach can adjust dynamically in conjunction with the distribution changes. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed hybrid approach, the persistence model, GP model, autoregressive (AR) model, and AR integrated with Kalman filter (KF) model are used to predict the results for comparison. Taking two wind farms in China and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) database as the experimental data, the results show that the proposed hybrid approach is suitable for wind speed predictions, and that it can increase forecasting accuracy.

In the folklore of emerging markets, there is a popular belief that bubbles are inevitable. In this paper, our objective is to estimate a state-space model for rational bubbles in selected Asian economies with the aid of the Kalman Filter. For each economy, we derive a possible picture of the bubble formation process that is implied by the state-space formulation. The estimation is based on the rational valuation formula for stock prices. Our results provide a possible way of defining the presence of rational bubbles in the stock markets of Taiwan, Singapore, Korea, and Malaysia.

A method based on projection filters is presented for identifying an open-loop stochastic system with an existing feedback controller. The projection filters are derived from the relationship between the state-space model and the AutoRegressive with eXogeneous input (ARX) model including the system, Kalman filter and controller. Two ARX models are identified from the control input, closed-loop system response and feedback signal using least-squares method. Markov parameters of the open-loop system, Kalman filter and controller are then calculated from the coefficients of the identified ARX models. Finally, the state-space model of the open-loop stochastic system and the gain matrices for the Kalman filter and controller are realized. The method is validated by simulations and test data from an unstable large-angle magnetic suspension test facility.

In competitive petroleum markets, oil price forecasting has always been an important strategic tool for oil producers and consumers to predict market behavior. In this study, we researched the monthly crude oil price in the period between 1988 and 2009. Firstly, we present a state space model to represent oil price system. Secondly, we determine the parameter estimates of the state space model for oil price through a faster algorithm to compute the likelihood function. Lastly, we use the Kalman filter method to estimate the next three months’ oil price and compare it with the econometric structure model as a benchmark. Empirical results indicate that the state space model performs well in terms of some standard statistics indices, and it may be a promising method for short-term oil price forecasting.
