In this paper, a modified EMD-FNN model (empirical mode decomposition (EMD) based feed-forward neural network (FNN) ensemble learning paradigm) is proposed for wind speed forecasting. The nonlinear and non-stationary original wind speed series is first decomposed into a finite and often small...

Wind power, as a promising renewable energy source, has environmental benefits, as well as economic and social ones. To evaluate wind energy properly and efficiently, this study proposes a hybrid forecasting approach that combines the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), which rarely presents in...

Interest in renewable and clean energy sources is becoming significant due to both the global energy dependency and detrimental environmental effects of utilizing fossil fuels. Therefore, increased attention has been paid to wind energy, one of the most promising sources of green energy in the...

In this paper, a hybrid forecasting approach, which combines the Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) and the Support Vector Machine (SVM), is proposed to improve the quality of wind speed forecasting. The essence of the methodology incorporates three phases. First, the original data of...

This paper presents a novel time-adaptive quantile-copula estimator for kernel density forecast and a discussion of how to select the adequate kernels for modeling the different variables of the problem. Results are presented for different case-studies and compared with splines quantile...

This paper describes the current status of fabrication of electrochromic devices based on sol-gel deposited electrochromic and counter-electrode thin films. Sol-gel film deposition is being developed by Sustainable Technologies Australia as a technique for fabrication of switchable architectural...
