Offshore Wind Energy Assessment with a Clustering Approach to Mixture Model Parameter Estimation

Abstract

In wind resource assessment research, mixture models are gaining importance due to the complex characteristics of wind data. The precision of parameter estimations for these models is paramount, as it directly affects the reliability of wind energy forecasts. Traditionally, the expectation–maximization (EM) algorithm has served as a primary tool for such estimations. However, challenges are often encountered with this method when handling complex probability distributions. Given these limitations, the objective of this study is to propose a new clustering algorithm, designed to transform mixture distribution models into simpler probability clusters. To validate its efficacy, a numerical experiment was conducted, and its outcomes were compared with those derived from the established EM algorithm. The results demonstrated a significant alignment between the new method and the traditional EM approach, indicating that comparable accuracy can be achieved without the need for solving complex nonlinear equations. Moreover, the new algorithm was utilized to examine the joint probabilistic structure of wind speed and air density in China’s coastal regions. Notably, the clustering algorithm demonstrated its robustness, with the root mean square error value being notably minimal and the coefficient of determination exceeding 0.9. The proposed approach is suggested as a compelling alternative for parameter estimation in mixture models, particularly when dealing with complex probability models.
