Abstract
The global demand for clean and sustainable energy has driven the rapid growth of wind power. However, wind farm managers face the challenge of forecasting wind power for efficient power generation and management. Accurate wind speed forecasting (WSF) is vital for predicting wind power; yet, the variability and intermittency of the wind make forecasting wind speeds difficult. Consequently, WSF remains a challenging area of wind research, driving continuous improvement in the field. This study aimed to enhance the optimization of multifeature-driven short multistep WSF. The primary contributions of this research include the integration of ReliefF feature selection (RFFS), a novel approach to variational mode decomposition for multifeature decomposition (NAMD), and a recursive non-linear autoregressive with exogenous inputs (NARXR) neural network. In particular, RFFS aids in identifying meteorological features that significantly influence wind speed variations, thus ensuring the selection of the most impactful features; NAMD improves the accuracy of neural network training on historical data; and NARXR enhances the overall robustness and stability of the wind speed forecasting results. The experimental results demonstrate that the predictive accuracy of the proposed NAMD–NARXR hybrid model surpasses that of the models used for comparison, as evidenced by the forecasting error and statistical metrics. Integrating the strengths of RFFS, NAMD, and NARXR enhanced the forecasting performance of the proposed NAMD–NARXR model, highlighting its potential suitability for applications requiring multifeature-driven short-term multistep WSF.
