Lowest Avg. Classification Error for Wind Forecasting (biHOW)
The **Binary iHow Optimization Algorithm (biHOW)** demonstrated exceptional performance in feature selection, achieving the lowest average misclassification rate of 0.3925 for wind forecasting and 0.4161 for solar forecasting. This significant reduction in dimensionality not only cuts computational costs but also enhances the generalization and robustness of the forecasting models by identifying compact, interpretable feature subsets.
iHOW vs. Benchmarks: Hyperparameter Tuning (Wind MSE)
| Optimizer | MSE (x10^-6) |
|---|---|
| iHOW + MSAN | 1.11 |
| HHO + MSAN | 94.4 |
| GWO + MSAN | 106 |
| PSO + MSAN | 114 |
| JAYA + MSAN | 155 |
- Achieved the lowest MSE (1.11E-06), significantly outperforming all benchmark metaheuristics for wind forecasting.
- Enhanced forecasting accuracy and correlation, with an R² of 0.9815 and WI of 0.9457 for wind.
- Demonstrated robust performance across various renewable energy modalities, proving its effectiveness in complex hyperparameter spaces.
iHOW excelled in hyperparameter optimization for MSAN, drastically reducing Mean Squared Error (MSE) compared to state-of-the-art metaheuristics like HHO, GWO, PSO, and JAYA. This fine-tuning capability allows for maximum predictive accuracy and superior generalization, even with complex architectural and training parameters.
MSAN Baseline Performance for Wind Forecasting
The Multi-Scale Attention Network (MSAN) demonstrated superior baseline performance compared to other deep learning models (LSTM, GRU, GANT, ARN) *before* any optimization. It achieved a Coefficient of Determination (R²) of 0.8558 and a Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) of 0.8638 for wind forecasting. This strong foundation highlights MSAN's capability to capture complex temporal dependencies, making it an ideal backbone for optimization-driven enhancements. For solar forecasting, MSAN similarly showed leading performance with an R² of 0.8299 and NSE of 0.8480, underscoring its adaptability to both short-term variability and long-term seasonal trends.
The MSAN model's inherent ability to capture multi-scale temporal dependencies, from short-term fluctuations to long-term seasonal patterns, positions it as a powerful forecasting backbone. Its architecture is specifically designed for renewable energy time series, making it highly effective for modeling solar irradiance and wind flow patterns.
