Abstract

To achieve a high penetration of renewable energy integration, an effective solution is to explore the interdependence between numerical weather prediction (NWP) data and historical wind power to improve prediction accuracy. This paper proposes a novel combined approach for wind power prediction. The characteristics of NWP and historical wind power data are extracted by using the feature extraction technique, the predictor is designed based on extreme learning machine (ELM) and least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) model, and then key parameters of the prediction models are optimized by improving cuckoo search (ICS) to obtain a reliable value, which is defined as the pre-combined prediction value (PPA). To obtain a reliable result, a variance strategy is developed to allocate the weights of the pre-combined prediction model to obtain the final predicted values. Four seasons dataset collected from regional wind farms in China is utilized as a benchmark experiment to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The results of comprehensive numerical cases with different seasons show that the proposed approach, which considers multiple-error metrics, including error metrics, accuracy rate, qualification rate, and improvement percentages, achieves higher accuracy than other benchmark prediction models.
