Ultra-Short-Term Wind Power Prediction by Salp Swarm Algorithm-Based Optimizing Extreme Learning Machine
Abstract
Wind power generation accounts for an increasing proportion of the power grid, so efficient and accurate real-time wind power prediction is particularly important for wind power grid. In view of the strong randomness and fluctuation of wind and the difficulty of predicting wind power, a Salp Swarm Algorithms-Extremely Learning Machine (SSA-ELM) based ultra-short-term wind power prediction model is proposed. In this case, the multi-input sample set is composed of historical wind speed, temperature, wind direction, atmospheric pressure and other climatic factors that are highly correlated with wind power, and the network parameters are determined in the training process. In order to improve the adaptability and accuracy of the prediction model, the input weight matrix and hidden layer deviation of the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) are optimized by exploring and developing the Salp Swarm Algorithm in the iterative process. Finally, the simulation experiment is conducted with the actual data of a wind farm in Henan Province, and the comparison with the traditional Extreme Learning Machine, Particle Swarm Optimization Extreme Learning Machine (PSO-ELM) and Back Propagation (BP) neural network model shows that the new method avoids falling into the local extreme value, and has faster convergence speed and higher prediction accuracy.
