Power Generation Prediction Method of Offshore Wind Turbines Based on Cascaded Deep Learning

Aiming at the problems of low prediction accuracy, long time, and poor results in current wind turbine generation power prediction methods, an offshore wind turbine generation power prediction method based on cascaded deep learning is proposed. Using deep belief networks, stacked autoencoding networks, and long short-term memory networks, a cascaded deep learning method is proposed to predict the power generation of offshore wind turbines. Multiple feature extractors are used to extract and fuse high-level features to form a unified feature with richer information to predict the power generation sequence of offshore wind turbines. According to the modeling strategy and port design strategy, using the stacked autoencoding networks as the basic unit, a cascaded deep learning model for generating power prediction of offshore wind turbines is established. Through the selection of input variables, the variables that have a great correlation with wind power are obtained. The layer-by-layer greedy algorithm is used for training from bottom to top, and supervised learning is used to fine-tune the network parameters from top to bottom to realize the generation power prediction of the offshore wind turbine. The experimental results show that the proposed method is effective in predicting the power generation of offshore wind turbines, which can effectively improve the prediction accuracy and shorten the prediction time.
