Randomization-based machine learning in renewable energy prediction problems: Critical literature review, new results and perspectives

Application of artificial intelligence in solar and wind energy resources: a strategy to deal with environmental pollution

Environmental pollution has become a significant concern of nations. International organizations, local authorities, and social activists try to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs) to protect the environment. However, this cannot be achieved without acknowledging the role of advanced technology applications. Previous studies found a significant relationship between technology and energy resources. But the need to highlight the significance of artificial intelligence (AI) in dealing with inevitable environmental issues still requires more attention. This study aims to analyze the application of AI applications in predicting, developing, and implementing wind and solar energy resources through a bibliometric analysis from 1991 to 2022. It uses bilioshiny of the "bibliometrix 3.0" package of R-programming for influential core aspects and keyword analysis and VOSviewer for co-occurrence analysis. The study provides significant implications for core authors, documents, sources, affiliations, and countries. It also provides keyword analysis and a co-occurrence network to cope with the conceptual integration of the literature. It reports three significant streams of literature in clusters: AI optimization and renewable energy resources; smart renewable energy resource challenges and opportunities; deep learning and machine learning forecasting; and energy efficiency. The findings will uncover the strategic perspective of AI technology for wind and solar energy generation projects.

An Adaptive Hybrid Model for Wind Power Prediction Based on the IVMD-FE-Ad-Informer

Accurate wind power prediction can increase the utilization rate of wind power generation and maintain the stability of the power system. At present, a large number of wind power prediction studies are based on the mean square error (MSE) loss function, which generates many errors when predicting original data with random fluctuation and non-stationarity. Therefore, a hybrid model for wind power prediction named IVMD-FE-Ad-Informer, which is based on Informer with an adaptive loss function and combines improved variational mode decomposition (IVMD) and fuzzy entropy (FE), is proposed. Firstly, the original data are decomposed into K subsequences by IVMD, which possess distinct frequency domain characteristics. Secondly, the sub-series are reconstructed into new elements using FE. Then, the adaptive and robust Ad-Informer model predicts new elements and the predicted values of each element are superimposed to obtain the final results of wind power. Finally, the model is analyzed and evaluated on two real datasets collected from wind farms in China and Spain. The results demonstrate that the proposed model is superior to other models in the performance and accuracy on different datasets, and this model can effectively meet the demand for actual wind power prediction.
