Such growth trajectories demand proportional evolution in wind power administration methodologies. Precise predictions represent an indispensable element for effective wind energy system governance. However, the task of generating accurate wind velocity forecasts remains challenging, since wind speed time-series data exhibits both non-linear patterns and temporal variability. This paper presents a novel hybrid model for wind speed forecasting that integrates PSR (Phase Space Reconstruction), NNCT (No Negative Constraint Theory), and an innovative GPSOGA optimization algorithm. SSA (Singular Spectrum Analysis) is initially applied to decompose the raw wind speed time series into IMFs (Intrinsic Mode Functions), effectively isolating fundamental oscillatory components. Subsequently, PSR reconstructs these IMFs into input and output vectors. The proposed model combines four predictive frameworks: CBP (Cascade Back Propagation) network, RNN (Recurrent Neural Network), GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit), and CCNRNN (Causal Convolutional Network integrated with Recurrent Neural Network). The NNCT strategy is employed to consolidate the outputs of these predictors, while a newly developed optimization algorithm identifies the optimal combination parameters. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed model, forecasting results are benchmarked against various models across four distinct datasets. Experimental results indicate that the proposed model achieves superior forecasting accuracy, as evidenced by multiple performance indicators. Further validation through the DM (Diebold-Mariano) test, AIC (Akaike's Information Criterion), and the NSE (Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency Coefficient) confirms the model's enhanced predictive capability over comparison models.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":419,"journal":{"name":"Renewable Energy","volume":"238 ","pages":"Article 121992"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142757311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results reveal that (i) HEU (WEU) displaces NEU in Canada and United States (Canada); (ii) SEU mainly displaces NEU in the countries except United Kingdom; (iii) the higher displacing impact of REU types is seen in Canada, while it is partially displacement for France and United States, and almost no displacement for United Kingdom.

Performing power tracking in a distributed manner is helpful in reducing the capacity mismatch loss under partial shading, whereas the flexible power point tracking makes it possible to adjust the photovoltaic power output with a greater freedom. Apart from getting a suitable converter topology, the D-FPPT control also requires a coordinated dynamic adjustment of subarray power reference commands so as to avoid any artificial power scarcity. A serial coordination is, usually, advantageous over the centralized coordination as the former greatly reduces the complexity of the inter-controller communication. Although a simple serially coordinated absolute power referencing scheme has already been proposed in the literature, the particular scheme was found to have the problem of very long power tracking transients even without partial shading. Therefore, in order to make D-FPPT adaptive to the environmental condition, a novel serially coordinated incremental power referencing scheme is proposed in this paper.

However, due to discrepancies between PV power generation and energy demand profiles, on-site PV utilization remains suboptimal. Currently, there is a research gap concerning mismatch deconstruction based on formative principles. Addressing this gap, the study proposes a novel mismatch deconstruction approach that deconstructs mismatches along three dimensions: quantity, stagger, and shape. The findings reveal that, in the baseline scenario, quantity mismatch dominates, accounting for 62.6 %, and stagger mismatch and shape mismatch contribute 34.3 % and 3.1 %, respectively. Furthermore, the mapping relationship between mismatch deconstruction and mitigation strategies is explored and solutions for scenarios where different deconstruction results are the main contradictions is provided. Results shows that quantity mismatch represents PV capacity requirements, while stagger mismatch and shape mismatch signify energy storage capacity needs. When the quantity mismatch ratio is below 0.5, the investment preference is completely biased towards energy storage. Leveraging the deconstruction, an investment optimization method is introduced to maximize renewable energy supply and maximize economic benefits.
