• Title: Improving the forecast accuracy of wind power by leveraging multiple hierarchical structure
• Authors: Lucas English, Mahdi Abolghasemi,
• Abstract summary: Recent advances in hierarchical forecasting through reconciliation have demonstrated a significant increase in the quality of wind energy forecasts for short-term periods. We leverage the cross-sectional and temporal hierarchical structure of turbines in wind farms and build cross-temporal hierarchies to investigate how integrated cross-sectional and temporal dimensions can add value to forecast accuracy in wind farms.

• Abstract: Renewable energy generation is of utmost importance for global decarbonization. Forecasting renewable energies, particularly wind energy, is challenging due to the inherent uncertainty in wind energy generation, which depends on weather conditions. Recent advances in hierarchical forecasting through reconciliation have demonstrated a significant increase in the quality of wind energy forecasts for short-term periods. We leverage the cross-sectional and temporal hierarchical structure of turbines in wind farms and build cross-temporal hierarchies to further investigate how integrated cross-sectional and temporal dimensions can add value to forecast accuracy in wind farms. We found that cross-temporal reconciliation was superior to individual cross-sectional reconciliation at multiple temporal aggregations. Additionally, machine learning based forecasts that were cross-temporally reconciled demonstrated high accuracy at coarser temporal granularities, which may encourage adoption for short-term wind forecasts. Empirically, we provide insights for decision-makers on the best methods for forecasting high-frequency wind data across different forecasting horizons and levels.

  We propose a novel approach called Hybrid Frequency Feature Enhancement Inverted Transformer (Hiformer) Hiformer integrates signal decomposition technology with weather feature extraction technique to enhance the modeling of correlations between meteorological conditions and wind power generation. Compared to the state-of-the-art methods, Hiformer: (i) can improve the prediction accuracy by up to 52.5%; and (ii) can reduce computational time by up to 68.5%.

  We introduce a benchmark that queries future trajectories on streaming data and we refer to it as "streaming forecasting" Our benchmark inherently captures the disappearance and re-appearance of agents, which is a safety-critical problem yet overlooked by snapshot-based benchmarks. We propose a plug-and-play meta-algorithm called "Predictive Streamer" that can adapt any snapshot-based forecaster into a streaming forecaster.

  This work proposes a Bundle-Predict-Reconcile (BPR) framework that integrates asset bundling, machine learning, and forecast reconciliation techniques. The BPR framework first learns an intermediate hierarchy level (the bundles), then predicts wind power at the asset, bundle, and fleet level, and finally reconciles all forecasts to ensure consistency.
