Genetic programming for real-time prediction of offshore wind

‘Application of Genetic Programming for estimation of ocean wave heights’

“…are very complex three dimensional phenomena. Researchers have found traditional numerical and statistical methods to be less accurate, for ocean waves [3] and/or wind prediction [4] [5]. Several types of ANN are found to be more accurate in comparison with these methods.…”

“…[10] used GP for projecting deep water wave heights to coastal area and noticed that GP performed excellently over most of the wave heights. [4] [5]and [11] in their separate research have predicted wind parameters from waves and found GP to be more accurate than ANN. [12] found that GP yielded results better than ANN for filling up smaller gaps in wave data except for stormy periods.…”

Genetic Programming: A Novel Computing Approach in Modeling Water Flows

“…It was also confirmed that for estimation of only wind speed the non-splitting of wind velocity gives better results. Similarly wind speed and its directions were predicted for intervals of 3hr, 6hr, 9hr, 12hr and 24 hr at locations along the west coast of India using two soft computing techniques of ANN and GP and previous values of the same [23]. It was found that GP rivaled ANN predictions at all the cases and even bettered it particularly for open sea location.…”

Forecasting Water Levels Using Artificial Neural Networks

“…Since last two decades or so, ANN's have found increasing applications in oceanic and atmospheric sciences and engineering (Hsieh and Tang 1998). Some examples include investigations pertaining to the estimation of salinity and density (Krasnopolsky et al 2002), phytoplankton production (Scardi and Harding 1999), temperature profiles (Churnside et al 1994), ocean color (Gross et al 1999), precipitation (Hong et al 2004Liu et al 2001;Marzban and Witt 2001), wind speeds (Kretzschmar et al 2004;More and Deo 2002;Charhate et al 2009), wave forecasting (Deo and Naidu 1999;Makarynskyy 2004;Londhe and Panchang 2006;Jain and Deo 2007;Gunaydin 2008;Mahajubi et al 2008;Zamini et al 2008), radiative flux (Loukachine and Loeb 2003), wind and wave loads on structures (Haddara and Soares 1999;Mase and Kitano 1999;Mahfouz, 2006), barge motions (Mahfouz and Haddara 2003;Moreira and Soares 2003;Alkan et al 2004), scour depths near pilings (Kambekar and Deo, 2003), etc.…”
