Abstract: Aiming at the wind power prediction problem, a wind power probability prediction method based on the quantile regression of a dilated causal convolutional neural network is proposed. With the developed model, the Adam stochastic gradient descent technique is utilized to solve the cavity parameters of the causal convolutional neural network under different quantile conditions and obtain the probability density distribution of wind power at various times within the following 200 hours. The presented method can obtain more useful information than conventional point and interval predictions. Moreover, a prediction of the future complete probability distribution of wind power can be realized. According to the actual data forecast of wind power in the PJM network in the United States, the proposed probability density prediction approach can not only obtain more accurate point prediction results, it also obtains the complete probability density curve prediction results for wind power. Compared with two other quantile regression methods, the developed technique can achieve a higher accuracy and smaller prediction interval range under the same confidence level.
