“…These prediction methods usually use historical data, through some linear models include autoregressive moving average model (ARMA) [9,34], autoregressive integrated moving average model (ARIMA) [2]. The nonlinear model include SVM [8,12], LSSVM [36,39], artificial neural network (Elman neural network [44,45], echo state network [38], fuzzy neural network [6,30], RBF neural network [4,23], and etc to predict short-term wind speed. The results of some related literatures indicate that the short-term wind speed has strong nonlinearity [1,24], so the nonlinear model is more suitable for shortterm wind speed prediction.…”
