| Summary: | The effective prediction of dynamic cable ratings (DCR) in the HVDC cable is pivotal for enhancing transmission efficiency and maximizing electricity sales in offshore wind farms. Due to complex wind conditions, traditional machine learning methods, such as support vector machines, struggle to provide accurate long-term DCR predictions and express prediction uncertainties. To address these challenges, this article proposes a novel deep learning framework for dynamic cable rating prediction based on encoder–decoder networks, in which the encoder utilizes Bidirectional extended-long Short-Term Memory networks to encode contextual information from the input data. The decoder introduces an additive attention mechanism, which allows the network to focus on relevant features in the input sequence. In addition, to capture the uncertainty for DCR prediction, a Bayesian neural network approximation method based on the Monte Carlo dropout method is introduced. Finally, this paper introduces a thermal risk estimation method by considering both the maximum conductor temperature limit and the temperature gradient limit. Results demonstrate that the proposed method not only improves electric field distribution but also achieves superior economic benefits. |
