Short-term wind power prediction plays a crucial role in formulating effective power system production scheduling plans
but the inherent stochastic nature and volatility of wind power output present challenges to achieving high prediction accuracy. This paper addresses several limitations prevalent in existing prediction methods
including the neglect of time delay similarity in sequential sub-processes
reliance on sequence decomposition effects
and the suboptimal accuracy of current approaches. In response to these challenges
the WSTD-improved Autoformer combination prediction method is proposed. Firstly
the preprocessing of raw data is performed using wavelet soft threshold denoising to mitigate the impact of noise on prediction accuracy. Sec
ondly
the Autoformer model
characterized by its autocorrelation mechanism
is employed for short-term wind power prediction
exploring periodic dependencies from a sequential perspective. Additionally
a deep decomposition architecture based on multi-level discrete wavelet transforms is constructed to enhance the Autoformer model's capability to decompose intricate temporal patterns. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed combination prediction model outperforms individual models and exhibits excellent adaptability. In the four seasonal scenarios
the RMSE and MAE metrics decreased by an average of 19.86% and 19.07%
and the R
2
increased by an average of 5.15% compared to the Autoformer model.
