A novel hybrid methodology for wind speed and solar irradiance forecasting based on improved whale optimized regularized extreme learning machine by S. Syama, J. Ramprabhakar, R Anand, V. P. Meena, Josep M. Guerrero

“…Then, a unique swarm intelligence technique, the non-linear dimension learning Hunting Whale Optimization Algorithm (NDLHWOA), is devised to optimize regularized extreme learning machine model parameters to capture the implicit information of each reconstructed sub-series. By integrating a non-linear convergence parameter and the dimension learning hunting approach, the performance of WOA can be drastically enhanced, leading to premature convergence, enhanced population variety, and effective global search. …”
