Wind Power Estimation Under Uncertainty Using Wavelet Transform for Optimal Dispatch in Microgrids with Renewable Energy Integration and Demand Response
摘要
The growing integration of intermittent renewable energy sources (RES), especially wind energy, presents substantial hurdles for the reliable and economical execution of microgrids. This paper presents a robust hybrid system that integrates wavelet transform-oriented signal decomposition with ML to improve wind power forecasting and optimize energy dispatch, addressing the uncertainty of wind generation and its effects on energy scheduling. The proposed model uses an innovative “cardiac wavelet” function for improved feature extraction and denoising, in combination with ANNs developed by chaotic shark smell optimization, to provide precise short-term wind predictions. This forecasting engine has been integrated into a grid-connected microgrid system that includes 18 wind turbines, 20 rooftop solar systems, 9 electric vehicles, and 26 prosumers, indicating a realistic dynamic energy exchange model. Adaptive demand response solutions that use time-of-use and RTP are combined to improve user participation and grid adaptability. Simulation outcomes showed significant improvements, with wind forecasting attaining an RMSE of 0.033 and an R² of 0.97. Grid dependency decreased from 64% to 49%, peak demand costs decreased by 30.5% and overall energy savings reached £427. The integrated system performed consistently and was scalable under practical implications, offering a cost-efficient and notable solution for modern energy management in smart microgrids.
