Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The increasing penetration of intermittent renewable energy in power systems brings operational challenges. One way of supporting them is by enhancing the predictability of renewables through accurate forecasting. Convolutional Neural Networks (Convnets) provide a successful technique for processing space-structured multi-dimensional data. In our work, we propose the U-Convolutional model to predict hourly wind speeds for a single location using spatio-temporal data with multiple explanatory variables as an input. The U-Convolutional model is composed of a U-Net part, which synthesizes input information, and a Convnet part, which maps the synthesized data into a single-site wind prediction. We compare our approach with advanced Convnets, a fully connected neural network, and univariate models. We use time series from the Climate Forecast System Reanalysis as datasets and select temperature and u- and v-components of wind as explanatory variables. The proposed models are evaluated at multiple locations (totaling 181 target series) and multiple forecasting horizons. The results indicate that our proposal is promising for spatio-temporal wind speed prediction, with results that show competitive performance on both time horizons for all datasets.
