Abstract:

As global demand for renewable energy continues to surge, efficiently and intelligently managing and forecasting renewable energy generation has become a pivotal research objective in energy sector. Applications of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the multi-dimensional data processing and intelligent forecasting of renewable energy generation are explored, focusing on its role in handling complex and highly variable data. First,the role of multi-dimensional feature mining techniques in processing wind and solar energy generation data from the perspective of meteorological conditions and spatiotemporal features is studied. Subsequently, a systematic analysis on intelligent forecasting techniques applied across different spatiotemporal scales and scenarios is offered, with particular emphasis on its usage in machine learning and deep learning models. These models have gained significant attention for their outstanding performance in dealing with nonlinear and high-dimensional data. Thorough reviews on the latest research findings demonstrate the substantial benefits of these AI technologies in enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of wind and solar energy generation forecasts. Additionally, it delves into the strengths and limitations of existing technologies and their development directions, particularly emphasizing the importance of improving the robustness, real-time processing capabilities, and adaptability of intelligent forecasting models in various scenarios. This study provides theoretical insights and practical guidance for advancing the development of renewable energy.

Key words: AI, renewable energy generation, meteorological feature extraction, spatiotemporal feature extraction, photovoltaic power forecasting, wind power forecasting, data mining
