Abstract:

Although certain progress has been achieved on wind power predictability and prediction accuracy, the short-term prediction accuracy is restricted by the strong nonlinearity of meteorological and wind power data. Hence, the improvement on short-term wind power prediction is a research hotspot. To deal with the nonlinearity and instability of wind power data, a short-term wind power forecasting method based on variational model decomposition and generative adversarial networks is proposed. The method introduces variational mode decomposition to disperse the nonlinearity of wind power data and decompose the complex sequence of prediction task into several simple sequences. Activation function and loss function are designed to solve the instability of traditional generative adversarial network models, and the key parameters of the designed activation function are analysed. The proposed method is tested on the data from a Bengaluru wind farm, showing a decent prediction result. Its forecasting mean square error is 79.65% and 51.83% lower than that of long short-term memory and variational mode decomposition-long short-term memory,respectively.

Key words: short-term wind power forecasting, variational mode decomposition, generative adversarial network, long short-term memory networks, activation function
