Day-ahead regional solar power forecasting with hierarchical temporal convolutional neural networks using historical power generation and weather data

no code implementations4 Mar 2024 Maneesha Perera, Julian De Hoog, Kasun Bandara, Damith Senanayake, Saman Halgamuge

In this work, we propose two deep-learning-based regional forecasting methods that can effectively leverage both types of time series (aggregated and individual) with weather data in a region.

Multi-Resolution, Multi-Horizon Distributed Solar PV Power Forecasting with Forecast Combinations

1 code implementation22 Jun 2022 Maneesha Perera, Julian De Hoog, Kasun Bandara, Saman Halgamuge

We propose a forecast combination approach based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) that will enable a forecaster to produce accurate forecasts for the task at hand by weighting the forecasts produced by individual models.

Ensembles of Localised Models for Time Series Forecasting

1 code implementation30 Dec 2020 Rakshitha Godahewa, Kasun Bandara, Geoffrey I. Webb, Slawek Smyl, Christoph Bergmeir

With large quantities of data typically available nowadays, forecasting models that are trained across sets of time series, known as Global Forecasting Models (GFM), are regularly outperforming traditional univariate forecasting models that work on isolated series.

Global Models for Time Series Forecasting: A Simulation Study

1 code implementation23 Dec 2020 Hansika Hewamalage, Christoph Bergmeir, Kasun Bandara

Our experiments demonstrate that when trained as global forecasting models, techniques such as RNNs and LGBMs, which have complex non-linear modelling capabilities, are competitive methods in general under challenging forecasting scenarios such as series having short lengths, datasets with heterogeneous series and having minimal prior knowledge of the patterns of the series.

Sales Demand Forecast in E-commerce using a Long Short-Term Memory Neural Network Methodology

1 code implementation13 Jan 2019 Kasun Bandara, Peibei Shi, Christoph Bergmeir, Hansika Hewamalage, Quoc Tran, Brian Seaman

Since the product assortment hierarchy in an E-commerce platform contains large numbers of related products, in which the sales demand patterns can be correlated, our attempt is to incorporate this cross-series information in a unified model.
