Accurate wind speed prediction is of significance to improve the ability to coordinate operation of a wind farm with a power system and ensure the safety of power grid operation. According to the randomness and volatility of wind speed, it is put forward that a WD_GA_LS_SVM short-term wind speed combination prediction model on basis of Wavelet decomposition (WD), Genetic alogorithms (GA) optimization and Least squares support vector machine (LS_SVM). Short-term wind speed prediction is carried out and compared with the neural network prediction model with use of the measured data of a wind farm. The results of error analysis indicate the combination prediction model selected is of higher prediction accuracy.

Wind speed prediction is an important technology in the wind power field; however, because of their chaotic nature, predicting wind speed accurately is difficult. Aims at this challenge, a backtracking search optimization–based least squares support vector machine model is proposed for short-term wind speed prediction. In this article, the least squares support vector machine is chosen as the short-term wind speed prediction model and backtracking search optimization algorithm is used to optimize the important parameters which influence the least squares support vector machine regression model. Furthermore, the optimal parameters of the model are obtained, and the short-term wind speed prediction model of least squares support vector machine is established through parameter optimization. For time-varying systems similar to short-term wind speed time series, a model updating method based on prediction error accuracy combined with sliding window strategy is proposed. When the prediction model does not match the actual short-term wind model, least squares support vector machine trains and re-establishes. This model updating method avoids the mismatch problem between prediction model and actual wind speed data. The actual collected short-term wind speed time series is used as the research object. Multi-step prediction simulation of short-term wind speed is carried out. The simulation results show that backtracking search optimization algorithm–based least squares support vector machine model has higher prediction accuracy and reliability for the short-term wind speed. At the same time, the prediction performance indicators are also improved. The prediction result is that root mean square error is 0.1248, mean absolute error is 0.1374, mean absolute percentile error is 0.1589% and R2 is 0.9648. When the short-term wind speed varies from 0 to 4 m/s, the average value of absolute prediction error is 0.1113 m/s, and average value of absolute relative prediction error is 8.7111%. The proposed prediction model in this article has high engineering application value.

Wind speed forecasting is an effective method to improve power stability of wind farm. Grey system theory have certain advantages in the study of poor information and uncertainty problems, it is suitable for the system with limited computing power and data storage capacity, such as wind turbine control system. In order to further improve the prediction accuracy of grey model, we combined GM (1, 1) model and BP neural network prediction model in this paper, and improved the combined model by background value optimizing and introducing genetic algorithm. Through analyzing the simulation results and comparing the forecasting results with the actual wind speed, it is clear that the improved combined prediction model is superior to pure grey forecasting model and it meets the needs of the wind power control.

To avoid the impact which is caused by the characteristics of the random fluctuations of the wind speed to grid-connected wind power generation system, accurately prediction of short-term wind speed is needed. This paper designed a combination prediction model which used the theories of wavelet transformation and support vector machine (SVM). This improved the model’s prediction accuracy through the method of achiving change character in wind speed sequences in different scales by wavelet transform and optimizing the parameters of support vector machines through the improved particle swarm algorithm. The model showed great generalization ability and high prediction accuracy through the experiment. The lowest root-mean-square error of 200 samples was up to 0.0932 and the model’s effect was much stronger than the BP neural network prediction model. It provided an effective method for predicting wind speed.

Wind speed prediction is the key to wind power prediction, which is very important to guarantee the security and stability of the power system. Due to dramatic changes in wind speed, it needs high-frequency sampling to describe the wind. A large number of samples are generated and affect modeling time and accuracy. Therefore, two novel active learning methods with sample selection are proposed for short-term wind speed prediction. The main objective of active learning is to minimize the number of training samples and ensure the prediction accuracy. In order to verify the validity of the proposed methods, the results of support vector regression (SVR) and artificial neural network (ANN) models with different training sets are compared. The experimental data are from a wind farm in Jiangsu Province. The simulation results show that the two novel active learning methods can effectively select typical samples. While reducing the number of training samples, the prediction performance remains almost the same or slightly improved.
