| Sumario: | Recently, countries around the world have begun to develop low-carbon energy sources to alleviate energy shortage and cope with climate change. The offshore wind power has become a new direction for clean energy exploration. However, the accuracy of offshore wind power investment is still an urgent problem due to its complexity. Therefore, this paper investigates offshore wind power investment to improve the investment forecasting accuracy. In this study, the random forest (RF) algorithm was used to screen out the key factors influencing multi-dimensional global offshore wind power investment, and the elastic net (EN) was optimized using the ADMM algorithm and used in the global offshore wind power investment forecast model. The results show that the adoption of the random forest algorithm can effectively screen out the key influencing factors of global offshore wind power investment. Water depth, offshore distance and sweeping area have the most influence on the investment. Moreover, compared with other models, the elastic net optimized by ADMM can better reflect the changing trend of global offshore wind power investment, with smaller errors and a higher regression accuracy. The application of the RF–EN combined model can screen out effective factors from complex multi-dimensional influencing factors, and perform high-precision regression analysis, which is conducive to improving the global offshore wind power investment forecast. The conclusion obtained can set a more reasonable plan for the future construction and investment of global offshore wind power projects. |
