As the foundation for optimizing wind turbine operations and ensuring energy stability, wind speed forecasting directly impacts the safe operation of the power grid, the rationality of grid planning, and the balance of supply and demand. Furthermore, gust events, characterized by sudden and rapid wind speed fluctuations, pose significant challenges for ultra-short-term wind speed forecasting, making the data more complex and thus harder to predict accurately. To address this issue, this paper proposes a novel hybrid model that combines dynamic gust detection with Conditional Long Short-Term Memory (Conditional LSTM) and incorporates dynamic window adjustment and wind speed difference threshold screening methods. The model dynamically adjusts the window size to accurately detect gust events and uses a conditional LSTM model to adjust predictions based on gust and non-gust conditions. Experimental results show that the proposed model exhibits higher prediction accuracy across various wind speed scenarios, particularly during gust events. Through detailed experiments using data from a single actual wind farm, the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed hybrid model are demonstrated. The experimental results indicate that the proposed model outperforms contrast models, especially in handling gust events, significantly enhancing the robustness of ultra-short-term wind speed predictions.

Maintenance planning is crucial for efficient operation of wind turbines, particularly in harsh conditions where degradation of critical components, such as bearings, can lead to costly downtimes and safety threats. In this context, prognostics of degradation play a vital role, enabling timely interventions to prevent failures and optimize maintenance schedules. Learning systems-based vibration analysis of bearings stands out as one of the primary methods for assessing wind turbine health. However, data complexity and challenging conditions pose significant challenges to accurate degradation assessment. This paper proposes a novel approach, Uncertainty Bayesian-Optimized Extreme Recurrent EXpansion (UBO-EREX), which combines Extreme Learning Machines (ELM), a lightweight neural network, with Recurrent Expansion algorithms, a recently advanced representation learning technique. The UBO-EREX algorithm leverages Bayesian optimization to optimize its parameters, targeting uncertainty as an objective function to be minimized. We conducted a comprehensive study comparing UBO-EREX with basic ELM and a set of time-series adaptive deep learners, all optimized using Bayesian optimization with prediction errors as the main objective. Our results demonstrate the superior performance of UBO-EREX in terms of approximation and generalization. Specifically, UBO-EREX shows improvements of approximately 5.1460 ± 2.1338% in the coefficient of determination of generalization over deep learners and 5.7056% over ELM, respectively. Moreover, the objective search time is significantly reduced with UBO-EREX with 99.7884 ± 0.2404% over deep learners, highlighting its effectiveness in real-time degradation assessment of wind turbine bearings. Overall, our findings underscore the significance of incorporating uncertainty-aware UBO-EREX in predictive maintenance strategies for wind turbines, offering enhanced accuracy, efficiency, and robustness in degradation assessment.

The traditional power prediction methods cannot fully take into account the differences and similarities between units. In the face of the complex and changeable sea climate, the strong coupling effect of atmospheric circulation, ocean current movement, and wave fluctuation, the characteristics of wind processes under different incoming currents and different weather are very different, and the spatio-temporal correlation law of offshore wind processes is highly complex, which leads to traditional power prediction not being able to accurately predict the short-term power of offshore wind farms. Therefore, aiming at the characteristics and complexity of offshore wind power, this paper proposes an innovative short-term power prediction method for offshore wind farms based on a Gaussian mixture model (GMM). This method considers the correlation between units according to the characteristics of the measured data of units, and it divides units with high correlation into a category. The Bayesian information criterion (BIC) and contour coefficient method (SC) were used to obtain the optimal number of groups. The average intra-group correlation coefficient (AICC) was used to evaluate the reliability of measurements for the same quantized feature to select the representative units for each classification. Practical examples show that the short-term power prediction accuracy of the model after unit classification is 2.12% and 1.1% higher than that without group processing, and the mean square error and average absolute error of the short-term power prediction accuracy are reduced, respectively, which provides a basis for the optimization of prediction accuracy and economic operation of offshore wind farms.

Microgrids have emerged as a key element in the transition towards sustainable and resilient energy systems by integrating renewable sources and enabling decentralized energy management. This systematic review, conducted using the PRISMA methodology, analyzed 74 peer-reviewed articles from a total of 4205 studies published between 2014 and 2024. This review examines critical areas such as reinforcement learning, multi-agent systems, predictive modeling, energy storage, and optimization algorithms—essential for improving microgrid efficiency and reliability. Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things, and flexible power electronics are highlighted for enhancing energy management and operational performance. However, challenges persist in integrating AI into complex, real-time control systems and managing distributed energy resources. This review also identifies key research opportunities to enhance microgrid scalability, resilience, and efficiency, reaffirming their vital role in sustainable energy solutions. Full article
