• Title: Zhinv: Real-time hub-height wind field reconstruction using only local sparse observations
• Abstract summary: Zhinv is an end-to-end reconstruction framework that weaves sparse and irregular observations into a fine-grid wind field at hub-height.<n> Experiments in Northeast China, Europe, and Southeast Asia demonstrate that Zhinv can accurately, robustly, and efficiently reconstruct fine-grid wind fields from sparse observations.

• Abstract: The high proportion of wind power connected to the grid places higher demands on fine-grained knowledge of regional wind fields. Since the wind information directly obtainable in actual operations is mostly sparse, discrete, and irregularly distributed local observations, it is difficult to directly meet the needs of tasks such as wind power regulation, wind resource assessment, and low-altitude environmental perception of continuous regional wind fields. Therefore, we propose Zhinv, an end-to-end reconstruction framework that directly weaves sparse and irregular observations into a fine-grid wind field at hub-height. Experiments in Northeast China, Europe, and Southeast Asia demonstrate that Zhinv can accurately, robustly, and efficiently reconstruct fine-grid wind fields from sparse observations, reducing the error by about 66% compared with Kriging. With local wind-power observations as input, Zhinv enables wind power centers to bypass NWP and complex assimilation processes, supporting direct and real-time wind resource assessment from locally available data.

  This paper tackles the problem of passive gaze estimation using both event and frame data. We reformulate gaze estimation as the quantification of the state shifting from the current state to several prior registered anchor states. To improve the generalization ability, instead of learning a large gaze estimation network directly, we align a group of local experts with a student network.

  This paper focuses on the uncertainty set prediction of the aggregated generation of geographically distributed wind farms. A Spatio-temporal model is proposed to learn the dynamic features from partial observation in near-surface wind fields of neighboring wind farms. Numerical testing results based on the actual data with 6 wind farms in northwest China show that the uncertainty set of aggregated wind generation is less volatile than that of a single wind farm.
