摘要
Regional wind power prediction is of great significance for large-scale wind power integration. Normally regional prediction error is less than that of an individual wind farm due to the spatial smoothing effect. In this paper, a feature selection method of minimal-redundancy-maximal-relevance (mRMR) based on mutual information theory was presented to select optimal feature subset from available numerical weather prediction (NWP) variables for regional wind power prediction. The selected optimal feature subset could maximize relevant information and minimize redundant information and noises from numerous original NWP datasets. An artificial neural network model was adopted to predict regional wind power to verify the validity of the selected optimal feature subset. As well, influence of subset cardinality on prediction accuracy was analyzed. Case study indicates that the optimal subset with a small number of features can not only improve regional prediction accuracy effectively than existing conventional methods, but also reduce computational cost and data-resource dependency significantly. In addition, the relationship between selected optimal feature subset and the spatial distribution of wind farms was investigated. Results show that the proposed approach can be used for improving the accuracy of the regional wind power prediction practically. © 2015 Chin. Soc. for Elec. Eng.
