Hybrid model for high-speed rail wind speed forecasting based on improved transformer
摘要
High-speed trains are easily affected by extreme crosswinds during operation. Existing short-term wind speed prediction methods overlook the importance of data preprocessing and non-stationarity analysis. To address this, we designed HSR-Former, a method that combines data preprocessing and an improved Transformer for short-term wind speed prediction in high-speed rail systems. This model utilizes data processing and non-stationarity analysis to tackle two key issues. First, it identifies the main trend of wind speed through data preprocessing and encodes the change points of non-stationary sequences. Then, the reconstructed wind speed information is decomposed into trend components and seasonal components, with a multilayer perceptron predicting the trend components and Fourier attention encoding the key point positions to predict the seasonal components. Finally, the results from both parts are integrated to obtain the prediction. The study examines wind speed information from three sites with different geographical characteristics, and the results indicate: a) the data preprocessing module improves data accuracy and prediction performance; b) seasonal trend decomposition and the Fourier attention mechanism effectively capture wind speed change information; c) HSR-Former outperforms all comparison models in terms of prediction accuracy and stability.
