Wind power prediction based on variational mode decomposition multi-frequency combinations

Abstract

Because of the uncertainty and randomness of wind speed, wind power has characteristics such as nonlinearity and multiple frequencies. Accurate prediction of wind power is one effective means of improving wind power integration. Because the traditional single model cannot fully characterize the fluctuating characteristics of wind power, scholars have attempted to build other prediction models based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) or ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) to tackle this problem. However, the prediction accuracy of these models is affected by modal aliasing and illusive components. Aimed at these defects, this paper proposes a multi-frequency combination prediction model based on variational mode decomposition (VMD). We use a back propagation neural network (BPNN), autoregressive moving average (ARMA) model, and least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) to predict high, intermediate, and low frequency components, respectively. Based on the predicted values of each component, the BPNN is applied to combine them into a final wind power prediction value. Finally, the prediction performance of the single prediction models (ARMA, BPNN, LS-SVM) and the decomposition prediction models (EMD and EEMD) are used to compare with the proposed VMD model according to the evaluation indices such as average absolute error, mean square error, and root mean square error to validate its feasibility and accuracy. The results show that the prediction accuracy of the proposed VMD model is higher.

Variational Mode Decomposition-Based Event Recognition in Perimeter Security Monitoring With Fiber Optic Vibration Sensor

“…Based on this idea, we experimentally employed four-layer, five-layer, and sixlayer decomposition modes, and found that the recognition rate increased with the layers increase when the decomposition layers were below six. Secondly, based on the principle of VMD algorithm, if the decomposition layer is too large, it will lead to the problem of modal center frequency overlap in the process of decomposition [34]. Moreover, a bigger decomposition layer can degrade discrimination efficiency because of time consumption.…”

Dissolved Oxygen Forecasting in Aquaculture: A Hybrid Model Approach

“…EMD method is usually applied for original signal decomposition into its intrinsic multi-scale characteristics [20]. Generally, prediction methods that are based on signal's multi-scale characteristics are widely applied in different fields like short-term rainfall forecasting [21], short-term traffic flow prediction [22][23][24] and short-term wind power forecasting [25][26]. In the fields of water quality forecasting in aquaculture environment, Li et al [18] applied the ensemble empirical mode decomposition method to propose an efficient hybrid model for DO concentration forecasting in aquaculture based on original signal multi-scale features in order to increase the forecasting accuracy of DO content [27] in aquaculture environment.…”

A Neural-Network-Based Method for Ash Fouling Prediction of Heat Transfer Surface in Coal-Fired Power Plant Boiler

“…It may be difficult to adapt to these two features if predicting at the same time, so accurate prediction has always been a challenge. Therefore, the EEMD method is used to decompose the degradation curve into a series of clearness factor decomposition components, which include a residual component that represents the global degradation trend and multiple high-frequency components [13][14]. Support vector regression (SVR) and Encoder-Decoder based Attention (EDA) are used to train and predict the lowfrequency and high-frequency signals respectively, which greatly improves the accuracy of prediction.…”
