Short-term wind power prediction with harmony search algorithm: Belen region

Abstract

Wind power is the fastest-growing technology among alternative energy production sources. Reliable forecasting of short-term wind power plays a critical role in the acquisition of most of the generated energy. In this study, short-term wind power forecast is performed using radial-based artificial neural networks, forecast error and cost to be minimized with the harmony search algorithm. Experimented results show that, we can predict wind power with fewer features and less error by using harmony search algorithm. A %7 percent improvement in RMSE rate has been achieved with the proposed method for short-term wind power prediction.
