Renewable energy resources are playing a crucial role in minimizing fossil fuel emissions. Integrating machine learning techniques with tidal power forecasting could greatly enhance the accuracy and reliability of predictions, which is crucial for efficient energy production and management. A hybrid approach combining different methods often yields better results than relying on individual techniques. The accuracy of tidal current power is very important, especially for smart grid applications. This work proposes hybrid adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) with the Kalman filter (KF) and a neuro-wavelet (WNN) for tidal current speed, direction, and power forecasting. The turbine used in this study is driven by a direct drive permanent magnet synchronous generator (DDPMSG). The predictions of individual and hybrid models including the ANFIS, the Kalman filter, and the WNN for tidal current speed and the power it generates are compared with another dataset as a way of validation which is the tidal currents direction. Also, other published work results in the literature are compared to the proposed work. Different hybrid models are proposed for smart grid integration. The results of this work indicate that the hybrid model of the WNN and the ANFIS for tidal current power or speed forecasting has the highest performance compared to all other models.
