description The security of power systems and electrical grids can be affected by the stochastic nature of wind energy. Therefore, reliable techniques for load forecasting and planning must be developed. This paper presents a model for short-term regional wind power forecasting based on small datasets. The model comprises three steps: input data correction, a hybrid neural network, and error analysis. First, regional numerical weather predictions (NWP) are corrected by using a stacked multilevel-denoising autoencoder (SMLDAE) to generate more effective inputs; this is the first study to use SMLDAE for NWP data correction. Second, a neural network-based hybrid model is employed for regional wind power forecasting to predict the wind power in the region. The proposed hybrid model employs three processes: multiscale mathematical morphological decomposition (MMMD), k-means clustering, and a stacked denoising autoencoder. MMMD can decompose the data directly in the time domain, thus, the signal does not need to be transferred from the time domain to the frequency domain to accomplish the decomposition.
