Effective wind power prediction on wind farm can not only guarantee safe operation of wind farm, but also increase wind power storage and utilization efficiency. This research combines mesoscale numerical weather prediction model with BP neural network model for the use of wind power prediction. WRF model is used to recalculate the meteorological elements of trial wind farm from Jun. 2008 to Jun. 2009, and the accuracy check result shows that the correlation coefficient between predicted value and corresponding measured value of wind speed reaches 0.72. Predictions accuracy of wind direction, air temperature, humidity and air pressure are also precise, which meets the requirement of building BP neural network prediction model. The BP neural network prediction models of output power of 40 wind turbines are established on trial wind farm one by one, to analyze the influence of data normalization method and neuron number at the hidden layer on prediction accuracy. The prediction test every 10 minutes, with the actual effect of 24 hours, is done for 26 days, and prediction accuracy test is conducted by using independent samples. The result shows that relative root mean square error of the output power of the single wind turbine from 24.8% to 32.6%, and the correlation coefficient between predicted value and measured value is from 0.45 to 0.68; relative root mean square error of the whole wind farm is 21.5%, and the correlation coefficient between predicted value and measured value is 0.74.

Wind power prediction is very important to maintain the power balance and economic operation of power system. The BP and RBF neural network were respectively used to predict one wind turbines’ output power, in 4 hours, on a wind farm in Shandong Province. The results show that the BP model, with 6-13-1 net structure and considering the meteorological factors, exhibits the best prediction accuracy (MAPE is 3.59%, NRMSE is 1.58%). The most important factor in the meteorological information for power prediction is temperature, followed by air pressure, relative humidity finally. BP model is slightly better than RBF model, but the latter is much better in the learning speed and stability. Dynamic-BP neural network, combined with the dynamical weight adjustment method, is better than BP neural network in solving the weight problem. These methods are feasible to the wind power prediction.

Leafminer is one of pest of many vegetables, and the damage may cover so much of the leaf that the plant is unable to function, and yields are noticeably decreased. In order to get the information of the pest in the vegetable before the damage was not serious, this research used a BP neural network to classify the leafminer-infected tomato leaves, and the fractal dimension of the leaves was the input data of the BP neural network. Prediction results showed that when the number of FD was 21 and the hidden nodes of BP neural network were 21, the detection performance of the model was good and the correlation coefficient (r) was 0.836. Thus, it is concluded that the FD is an available technique for the detection of disease level of leafminer on tomato leaves.

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.

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.

This paper presents the development of wind power prediction models for a wind farm in Sri Lanka using an artificial neural network (ANN), multiple linear regression (MLR), and power regression (PR) techniques. Power generation data over five years since 2015 were used as the dependent variable in modeling, while the corresponding wind speed and ambient temperature values were used as independent variables. Variation of these three variables over time was analyzed to identify monthly, seasonal, and annual patterns. The monthly patterns are coherent with the seasonal monsoon winds exhibiting little annual variation, in the absence of extreme meteorological changes during the period of 2015–2020. The correlation within each pair of variables was also examined by applying statistical techniques, which are presented in terms of Pearson’s and Spearman’s correlation coefficients. The impact of unit increase (or decrease) in the wind speed and ambient temperature around their mean values on the output power was also quantified. Finally, the accuracy of each model was evaluated by means of the correlation coefficient, root mean squared error (RMSE), bias, and the Nash number. All the models demonstrated acceptable accuracy with correlation coefficient and Nash number closer to 1, very low RMSE, and bias closer to 0. Although the ANN-based model is the most accurate due to advanced features in machine learning, it does not express the generated power output in terms of the independent variables. In contrast, the regression-based statistical models of MLR and PR are advantageous, providing an insight into modeling the power generated by the other wind farms in the same region, which are influenced by similar climate conditions.

Accurately predicting wind power plays a vital part in site selection, large-scale grid connection, and the safe and efficient operation of wind power generation equipment. In the stage of data pre-processing, density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) algorithm is used to identify the outliers in the wind power data and the collected wind speed data of a wind power plant in Shandong Province, and the linear regression method is used to correct the outliers to improve the prediction accuracy. Considering the important impact of wind speed on power, the average value, the maximum difference and the average change rate of daily wind speed of each historical day are used as the selection criteria to select similar days by using DBSCAN algorithm and Euclidean distance. The short-term wind power prediction is carried out by using the similar day data pre-processed and unprocessed, respectively, as the input of back propagation neural network optimized by genetic algorithm (GA-BP neural network). Analysis of the results proves the practicability and efficiency of the prediction model and the important role of outlier identification and correction in improving the accuracy of wind power prediction.
