Hybrid Deep Learning-Based Model for Wind Speed Forecasting Based on DWPT and Bidirectional LSTM Network

Abstract

Accurate wind speed forecasting is essential for the reliability and security of the power system, and optimal operation and management of wind integrated smart grids. However, it is still a challenging task due to the highly uncertain and volatile nature of wind speed. Accordingly, in this work, a novel deep learning-based model integrating the discrete wavelet packet transform (DWPT) and bidirectional long short-term memory (BLSTM) is developed to precisely capture deep temporal features and learn the time-varying relationship of wind speed time series. In the proposed method, by applying the DWPT, both approximations and details parts are decomposed by passing through the filters to choose the frequency band related to the features of the original signal more adaptively. The BLSTM networks are incorporated to deal with the uncertainties more effectively as they have bidirectional memory capability (feedforward and feedback loops) to investigate both previous and future hidden layers data. To simultaneously improve the forecasting performance and decrease the learning complexity, the reconstructed state space of historical wind data is employed to reflect the evolution laws of wind speed. Two case studies using real-world wind speed datasets gathered from Flatirons campus (M2) of National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) located in Colorado, USA and weather station of Edmonton, Canada are implemented to demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed hybrid method compared to the shallow architectures and state-of-the-art deep learning models in the recent literature.INDEX TERMS Bidirectional LSTM, deep learning, time series, Takens' embedding theorem, wavelet packet decomposition, wind speed prediction.

A Secure Federated Deep Learning-Based Approach for Heating Load Demand Forecasting in Building Environment

“…Since its introduction, this technique has been able to solve RNNsrelated gradient vanishing and exploding problems and be used as a powerful tool for regression, prediction, linear and nonlinear modeling, and classification applications. High- Bi-LSTM is one of the well-known applications of deep learning, which was proposed to improve the performance of LSTM [43]. Thus, the transfer of information in this network is done in two ways and can forecast the data with information about past and present times.…”

Wind Speed Prediction Using Hybrid 1D CNN and BLSTM Network

“…The first category is the short-term, which involves forecasting of wind speed from several minutes to hours ahead. Most real-time electricity market, grid regulation, and economic dispatch depend on this type [26]. The next category is the medium-term forecasting which ranges from several hours to weeks.…”
