Accurate wind power prediction is highly significant to the safety, stability, and economic operation of power grids. Currently, typical ensemble methods for wind power forecasting are widely designed based on the mean square error (MSE) loss, which are very suitable for the assumption that the error distribution obeys the Gaussian distribution. However, the complex nonlinear conversion of wind energy into wind power may change the statistical characteristics of errors, thus the prediction model based on the traditional MSE loss may lead to the performance degradation of the forecasting model. To address these problems, a probability density function based adaptive ensemble learning with global convergence is proposed for wind power prediction, which comprises three modules: a data preprocessing module, a prediction module, and a combination module. Firstly, an effective feature generation mechanism is employed to extract the multi-mode characteristics of wind data. Then, an auxiliary error based adaptive global convergence model is developed as benchmark predictor in the prediction module, where an adaptive updating algorithm is derived based on the Lyapunov approach to ensure the global convergence of the model weights. Moreover, considering the asymmetric characteristic of modeling error, a probability density function (PDF) based ensemble learning is created to integrate the results of benchmark predictors. Specifically, the ensemble model parameter updating is transformed into the shape control for the modeling error PDF, which can break through the limitation of MSE loss capturing only the second moment information, and emphasize the spatial distribution of errors to make an unbiased estimate of wind power. Experimental results show that the proposed ensemble model has significant advantages over other models involved in this study.
