Abstract
The energy generated by wind turbines exhibits a continually fluctuating structure due to the dynamic variations in wind speed. In addition, in the context of seasonal transitions, increasing energy demand, and national/international energy policies, the necessity arises for short and long-term forecasting of wind energy. The use of machine learning algorithms is prevalent in the prediction of energy generated from wind. However, in machine learning algorithms such as deep learning, complex and lengthy equations emerge. In this study, the grammatical evolution algorithm, a type of symbolic regression method, is proposed to obtain equations with fewer parameters instead of complex and lengthy equations. This algorithm has been developed to derive a suitable equation based on data. In the study, through the use of grammatical evolution (GE), it has been possible to obtain a formula that is both simple and capable of easy computation, with a limited number of parameters. The equations obtained as a result of the conducted analyses have achieved a performance value of approximately 0.91. The equations obtained have been compared with methods derived using the genetic expression programming (GEP) approach. In conclusion, it has been ascertained that the grammatical evolution method can be effectively employed in the forecasting of wind energy.
