Wind Speed Forecasting Based on Data Decomposition and Deep Learning Models: A Case Study of a Wind Farm in Saudi Arabia

arXiv ·

A novel wind speed forecasting (WSF) framework is proposed combining Wavelet Packet Decomposition (WPD), Seasonal Adjustment Method (SAM), and Bidirectional Long Short-term Memory (BiLSTM). The SAM method eliminates the seasonal component of the decomposed subseries generated by WPD to reduce forecasting complexity. The model was tested on five years of hourly wind speed observations acquired from the Dumat Al-Jandal wind farm in Al-Jouf, Saudi Arabia, achieving high forecasting accuracy.

Modeling High-Resolution Spatio-Temporal Wind with Deep Echo State Networks and Stochastic Partial Differential Equations

arXiv ·

Researchers propose a spatio-temporal model for high-resolution wind forecasting in Saudi Arabia using Echo State Networks and stochastic partial differential equations. The model reduces spatial information via energy distance, captures dynamics with a sparse recurrent neural network, and reconstructs data using a non-stationary stochastic partial differential equation approach. The model achieves more accurate forecasts of wind speed and energy, potentially saving up to one million dollars annually compared to existing models.

Learning Time-Series Representations by Hierarchical Uniformity-Tolerance Latent Balancing

arXiv ·

The paper introduces TimeHUT, a new method for learning time-series representations using hierarchical uniformity-tolerance balancing of contrastive representations. TimeHUT employs a hierarchical setup to learn both instance-wise and temporal information, along with a temperature scheduler to balance uniformity and tolerance. The method was evaluated on UCR, UAE, Yahoo, and KPI datasets, demonstrating superior performance in classification tasks and competitive results in anomaly detection.

Movement Control of Smart Mosque's Domes using CSRNet and Fuzzy Logic Techniques

arXiv ·

This paper proposes a smart dome model for mosques that uses AI to control dome movements based on weather conditions and overcrowding. The model utilizes Congested Scene Recognition Network (CSRNet) and fuzzy logic techniques in Python to determine when to open and close the domes to maintain fresh air and sunlight. The goal is to automatically manage dome operation based on real-time data, specifying the duration for which the domes should remain open each hour.
