摘要

To reduce network integration and boost energy trading, wind power forecasting can play an important role in power systems. Furthermore, the uncertain and nonconvex behavior of wind signals make its prediction complex. For this purpose, accurate prediction tools are needed. In this paper, a ridgelet transform is applied to a wind signal to decompose it into sub-signals. The output of ridgelet transform is considered as input of new feature selection to identify the best candidates to be used as the forecast engine input. Finally, a new hybrid closed loop forecast engine is proposed based on a neural network and an intelligent algorithm to predict the wind signal. The effectiveness of the proposed forecast model is extensively evaluated on a real-world electricity market through a comparison with well-known forecasting methods. The obtained numerical results demonstrate the validity of proposed method.
