Description
Summary:This paper proposes an ensemble model for wind speed forecasting using the recurrent neural network known as Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) and data augmentation. For the experimentation, a single wind speed time series is used, from which four augmented time series are generated, which serve to train four GRU sub-models respectively, the results of these sub-models are averaged to generate the results of the proposal ensemble model (E-GRU). The results achieved by E-GRU are compared with those of each sub-model, showing that E-GRU outperforms the sub-models. Likewise, the proposal model (E-GRU) is compared with benchmark models without data augmentation such as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), showing that E-GRU is much more precise, reaching a difference of around 15% with respect to the Relative Root mean Square Error (RRMSE) and 11% with respect to the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE).
