到2021年底,全球电力容量的可再生能源份额达到38.3%,新设施以风能和太阳能为主,分别显示全球增长12.7%和18.5%。但是,风能和光伏能源都是高度挥发性的,使得对网格操作员的计划很难,因此对相应天气变量的准确预测对于可靠的电力预测至关重要。天气预测中最先进的方法是合奏方法,它为概率预测打开了大门。尽管合奏预测通常不足,并且会遭受系统的偏见。因此,它们需要某种形式的统计后处理,其中参数模型提供了手头天气变量的完整预测分布。我们提出了一种基于两步机的一般学习方法,用于校准集合天气预报,在第一步中,生成了改进点的预测,然后将其与各种合奏统计数据一起作为神经网络的输入特征,估计估计的参数。预测分布。在两个案例研究中,基于100m风速和全球水平辐照度预测匈牙利气象服务的操作集合词典系统,将这种新颖方法的预测性能与原始合奏的预测技能进行了比较ART参数方法。两种案例研究都证实,至少高达48H统计后处理可实质上改善了所有被考虑的预测范围的原始合奏的预测性能。所提出的两步方法的研究变体在其竞争对手方面优于技能,建议的新方法非常适用于不同的天气数量和广泛的预测分布。

后处理整体预测系统可以改善天气预报,尤其是对于极端事件预测。近年来,已经开发出不同的机器学习模型来提高后处理步骤的质量。但是,这些模型在很大程度上依赖数据并生成此类合奏成员需要以高计算成本的数值天气预测模型进行多次运行。本文介绍了ENS-10数据集,由十个合奏成员组成,分布在20年中(1998-2017)。合奏成员是通过扰动数值天气模拟来捕获地球的混乱行为而产生的。为了代表大气的三维状态,ENS-10在11个不同的压力水平以及0.5度分辨率的表面中提供了最相关的大气变量。该数据集以48小时的交货时间针对预测校正任务,这实质上是通过消除合奏成员的偏见来改善预测质量。为此,ENS-10为预测交货时间t = 0、24和48小时(每周两个数据点)提供了天气变量。我们在ENS-10上为此任务提供了一组基线,并比较了它们在纠正不同天气变量预测时的性能。我们还评估了使用数据集预测极端事件的基准。 ENS-10数据集可在创意共享归因4.0国际(CC By 4.0)许可下获得。

PV power forecasting models are predominantly based on machine learning algorithms which do not provide any insight into or explanation about their predictions (black boxes). Therefore, their direct implementation in environments where transparency is required, and the trust associated with their predictions may be questioned. To this end, we propose a two stage probabilistic forecasting framework able to generate highly accurate, reliable, and sharp forecasts yet offering full transparency on both the point forecasts and the prediction intervals (PIs). In the first stage, we exploit natural gradient boosting (NGBoost) for yielding probabilistic forecasts, while in the second stage, we calculate the Shapley additive explanation (SHAP) values in order to fully comprehend why a prediction was made. To highlight the performance and the applicability of the proposed framework, real data from two PV parks located in Southern Germany are employed. Comparative results with two state-of-the-art algorithms, namely Gaussian process and lower upper bound estimation, manifest a significant increase in the point forecast accuracy and in the overall probabilistic performance. Most importantly, a detailed analysis of the model's complex nonlinear relationships and interaction effects between the various features is presented. This allows interpreting the model, identifying some learned physical properties, explaining individual predictions, reducing the computational requirements for the training without jeopardizing the model accuracy, detecting possible bugs, and gaining trust in the model. Finally, we conclude that the model was able to develop complex nonlinear relationships which follow known physical properties as well as human logic and intuition.

尽管有持续的改进,但降水预测仍然没有其他气象变量的准确和可靠。造成这种情况的一个主要因素是,几个影响降水分布和强度的关键过程出现在全球天气模型的解决规模以下。计算机视觉社区已经证明了生成的对抗网络(GAN)在超分辨率问题上取得了成功,即学习为粗图像添加精细的结构。 Leinonen等。 (2020年)先前使用GAN来产生重建的高分辨率大气场的集合,并给定较粗糙的输入数据。在本文中,我们证明了这种方法可以扩展到更具挑战性的问题,即通过使用高分辨率雷达测量值作为“地面真相”来提高天气预报模型中相对低分辨率输入的准确性和分辨率。神经网络必须学会添加分辨率和结构,同时考虑不可忽略的预测错误。我们表明,甘斯和vae-gan可以在创建高分辨率的空间相干降水图的同时,可以匹配最新的后处理方法的统计特性。我们的模型比较比较与像素和合并的CRP分数,功率谱信息和等级直方图(用于评估校准)的最佳现有缩减方法。我们测试了我们的模型,并表明它们在各种场景中的表现,包括大雨。

A well-performing prediction model is vital for a recommendation system suggesting actions for energy-efficient consumer behavior. However, reliable and accurate predictions depend on informative features and a suitable model design to perform well and robustly across different households and appliances. Moreover, customers' unjustifiably high expectations of accurate predictions may discourage them from using the system in the long term. In this paper, we design a three-step forecasting framework to assess predictability, engineering features, and deep learning architectures to forecast 24 hourly load values. First, our predictability analysis provides a tool for expectation management to cushion customers' anticipations. Second, we design several new weather-, time- and appliance-related parameters for the modeling procedure and test their contribution to the model's prediction performance. Third, we examine six deep learning techniques and compare them to tree- and support vector regression benchmarks. We develop a robust and accurate model for the appliance-level load prediction based on four datasets from four different regions (US, UK, Austria, and Canada) with an equal set of appliances. The empirical results show that cyclical encoding of time features and weather indicators alongside a long-short term memory (LSTM) model offer the optimal performance.

We introduce a machine-learning (ML)-based weather simulator--called "GraphCast"--which outperforms the most accurate deterministic operational medium-range weather forecasting system in the world, as well as all previous ML baselines. GraphCast is an autoregressive model, based on graph neural networks and a novel high-resolution multi-scale mesh representation, which we trained on historical weather data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF)'s ERA5 reanalysis archive. It can make 10-day forecasts, at 6-hour time intervals, of five surface variables and six atmospheric variables, each at 37 vertical pressure levels, on a 0.25-degree latitude-longitude grid, which corresponds to roughly 25 x 25 kilometer resolution at the equator. Our results show GraphCast is more accurate than ECMWF's deterministic operational forecasting system, HRES, on 90.0% of the 2760 variable and lead time combinations we evaluated. GraphCast also outperforms the most accurate previous ML-based weather forecasting model on 99.2% of the 252 targets it reported. GraphCast can generate a 10-day forecast (35 gigabytes of data) in under 60 seconds on Cloud TPU v4 hardware. Unlike traditional forecasting methods, ML-based forecasting scales well with data: by training on bigger, higher quality, and more recent data, the skill of the forecasts can improve. Together these results represent a key step forward in complementing and improving weather modeling with ML, open new opportunities for fast, accurate forecasting, and help realize the promise of ML-based simulation in the physical sciences.

最近有兴趣在计算机视觉任务中使用模型中心(预训练模型的集合)。要使用模型中心,我们首先选择一个源模型,然后调整目标的模型以补偿差异。尽管对计算机视觉任务的模型选择和适应性的研究仍有有限的研究,但对于可再生能源领域而言,这甚至更多。同时,根据数值天气预测的天气特征,为对电力预测的需求不断增长提供预测是一个至关重要的挑战。我们通过进行第一个彻底的实验来弥合这些差距,以进行模型选择和适应性的适应性,以在可再生能力预测中转移学习,从而采用了六个数据集中计算机视觉领域的最新结果。我们根据不同季节的数据采用模型,并限制培训数据的量。作为当前最新状态的扩展,我们利用贝叶斯线性回归来预测基于从神经网络中提取的特征的响应。这种方法的表现仅超过基线,只有7天的培训数据。我们进一步展示了如何通过合奏组合多个模型可以显着改善模型选择和适应方法。实际上,有了超过30天的培训数据,两种提出的模型组合技术都取得了与经过一年的培训数据训练的模型相似的结果。

Wind power forecasting helps with the planning for the power systems by contributing to having a higher level of certainty in decision-making. Due to the randomness inherent to meteorological events (e.g., wind speeds), making highly accurate long-term predictions for wind power can be extremely difficult. One approach to remedy this challenge is to utilize weather information from multiple points across a geographical grid to obtain a holistic view of the wind patterns, along with temporal information from the previous power outputs of the wind farms. Our proposed CNN-RNN architecture combines convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to extract spatial and temporal information from multi-dimensional input data to make day-ahead predictions. In this regard, our method incorporates an ultra-wide learning view, combining data from multiple numerical weather prediction models, wind farms, and geographical locations. Additionally, we experiment with global forecasting approaches to understand the impact of training the same model over the datasets obtained from multiple different wind farms, and we employ a method where spatial information extracted from convolutional layers is passed to a tree ensemble (e.g., Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LGBM)) instead of fully connected layers. The results show that our proposed CNN-RNN architecture outperforms other models such as LGBM, Extra Tree regressor and linear regression when trained globally, but fails to replicate such performance when trained individually on each farm. We also observe that passing the spatial information from CNN to LGBM improves its performance, providing further evidence of CNN's spatial feature extraction capabilities.

Producing high-quality forecasts of key climate variables such as temperature and precipitation on subseasonal time scales has long been a gap in operational forecasting. Recent studies have shown promising results using machine learning (ML) models to advance subseasonal forecasting (SSF), but several open questions remain. First, several past approaches use the average of an ensemble of physics-based forecasts as an input feature of these models. However, ensemble forecasts contain information that can aid prediction beyond only the ensemble mean. Second, past methods have focused on average performance, whereas forecasts of extreme events are far more important for planning and mitigation purposes. Third, climate forecasts correspond to a spatially-varying collection of forecasts, and different methods account for spatial variability in the response differently. Trade-offs between different approaches may be mitigated with model stacking. This paper describes the application of a variety of ML methods used to predict monthly average precipitation and two meter temperature using physics-based predictions (ensemble forecasts) and observational data such as relative humidity, pressure at sea level, or geopotential height, two weeks in advance for the whole continental United States. Regression, quantile regression, and tercile classification tasks using linear models, random forests, convolutional neural networks, and stacked models are considered. The proposed models outperform common baselines such as historical averages (or quantiles) and ensemble averages (or quantiles). This paper further includes an investigation of feature importance, trade-offs between using the full ensemble or only the ensemble average, and different modes of accounting for spatial variability.

Forecasts by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF; EC for short) can provide a basis for the establishment of maritime-disaster warning systems, but they contain some systematic biases.The fifth-generation EC atmospheric reanalysis (ERA5) data have high accuracy, but are delayed by about 5 days. To overcome this issue, a spatiotemporal deep-learning method could be used for nonlinear mapping between EC and ERA5 data, which would improve the quality of EC wind forecast data in real time. In this study, we developed the Multi-Task-Double Encoder Trajectory Gated Recurrent Unit (MT-DETrajGRU) model, which uses an improved double-encoder forecaster architecture to model the spatiotemporal sequence of the U and V components of the wind field; we designed a multi-task learning loss function to correct wind speed and wind direction simultaneously using only one model. The study area was the western North Pacific (WNP), and real-time rolling bias corrections were made for 10-day wind-field forecasts released by the EC between December 2020 and November 2021, divided into four seasons. Compared with the original EC forecasts, after correction using the MT-DETrajGRU model the wind speed and wind direction biases in the four seasons were reduced by 8-11% and 9-14%, respectively. In addition, the proposed method modelled the data uniformly under different weather conditions. The correction performance under normal and typhoon conditions was comparable, indicating that the data-driven mode constructed here is robust and generalizable.
