Short-term Wind Power Forecasting Based on BWO‒VMD and TCN‒BiGRU by LU Jing, ZHANG Yanru, WANG Rui

“…Given the instability and high volatility of wind power generation, this study proposes a short-term wind power prediction method based on BWO‒VMD and TCN‒BiGRU to improve the accuracy of wind power prediction and better support the energy transition under the “dual carbon” strategy.MethodsA short-term wind power generation prediction model based on the beluga whale optimization (BWO) algorithm, variational mode de-composition (VMD), temporal convolutional network (TCN), and bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) was carefully proposed to improve the prediction accuracy of wind power generation, particularly considering its inherent instability and high volatility. …”
