Mapping frequent spatio-temporal wind profile patterns using multi-dimensional sequential pattern mining

Abstract

Holistic understanding of wind behaviour over space, time and height is essential for harvesting wind energy application. This study presents a novel approach for mapping frequent wind profile patterns using multidimensional sequential pattern mining (MDSPM). This study is illustrated with a time series of 24 years of European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts European Reanalysis-Interim gridded (0.125°× 0.125°) wind data for the Netherlands every 6 h and at six height levels. The wind data were first transformed into two spatio-temporal sequence databases (for speed and direction, respectively). Then, the Linear time Closed Itemset Miner Sequence algorithm was used to extract the multidimensional sequential patterns, which were then visualized using a 3D wind rose, a circular histogram and a geographical map. These patterns were further analysed to determine their wind shear coefficients and turbulence intensities as well as their spatial overlap with current areas with wind turbines. Our analysis identified four frequent wind profile patterns. One of them highly suitable to harvest wind energy at a height of 128 m and 68.97% of the geographical area covered by this pattern already contains wind turbines. This study shows that the proposed approach is capable of efficiently extracting meaningful patterns from complex spatio-temporal datasets.ARTICLE HISTORY

[Retracted] Music Recommendation Algorithm Based on Multidimensional Time‐Series Model Analysis

“…According to the degree of these algorithms referring to user behavior, we divide these algorithms into three categories [12]: music recommendation based on user's long-term behavior, music recommendation based on user's real-time behavior, and music recommendation based on user's med-term behavior [13]. Among them, music recommendation based on user's midterm behavior has attracted more and more attention because it considers the influence of context on user's behavior [14]. In addition, this paper believes that the future behavior of users is related to their long-term behavior, medium-term behavior, and immediate behavior, but there is no work to consider the influence and effect of these three aspects.…”

The Applicability of Big Data in Climate Change Research: The Importance of System of Systems Thinking

“…For the understanding of wind conditions, multidimensional sequential pattern mining is used that can define which pattern is suitable for wind energy (by taking into consideration the factors of space, time, and height). According to a study on the Netherlands, 68.97% of the country covered by a suitable wind pattern (at 128 m) and already has wind turbines installed (Yusof et al, 2017). A spatio-temporal pattern-based sequence classification framework was built to estimate the extent of deforestation.…”

Comparative Analysis of Lstm, Rf and SVM Architectures for Predicting Wind Nature for Smart City Planning

“…(Jiang et al, 2017) used a spatiotemporal pattern network for predicting energy consumption giving a data-driven technique for producer and consumer side energy system. (Yusof and Zurita-Milla, 2017) mapped the frequent spatio-temporal wind profile patterns using multi-dimensional sequential pattern mining. Smoothening and filtering techniques used in several above discussed studies, ignore the noise in the data, and modify the original wind dataset.…”
