Probabilistic Forecasting of Regional Wind Power Generation for the EEM20 Competition: a Physics-oriented Machine Learning Approach
Résumé
Variable renewable energy has a growing impact on electricity markets and power systems in many regions of the world. In this context, the 17th International Conference on the European Energy Market EEM20 set up a competition to develop probabilistic forecasting tools of wind production at a regional level. This paper proposes an adaptive approach for regional wind power forecasting. A physics-oriented pre-processing of the data delivers analog weather patterns and wind-power-related variables, then a k-means clustering of wind farms further reduces the dimension of the problem. The generated representative features feed a Quantile Regression Forests model that produces sharp and reliable predictions. As a result, our model won the competition with a relative improvement of the average pinball loss of 6.7% and 14.7%, compared to the teams ranked second and third respectively.
