Wind power generation accounts for an increasing proportion of the power grid, so efficient and accurate real-time wind power prediction is particularly important for wind power grid. In view of the strong randomness and fluctuation of wind and the difficulty of predicting wind power, a Salp Swarm Algorithms-Extremely Learning Machine (SSA-ELM) based ultra-short-term wind power prediction model is proposed. In this case, the multi-input sample set is composed of historical wind speed, temperature, wind direction, atmospheric pressure and other climatic factors that are highly correlated with wind power, and the network parameters are determined in the training process. In order to improve the adaptability and accuracy of the prediction model, the input weight matrix and hidden layer deviation of the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) are optimized by exploring and developing the Salp Swarm Algorithm in the iterative process. Finally, the simulation experiment is conducted with the actual data of a wind farm in Henan Province, and the comparison with the traditional Extreme Learning Machine, Particle Swarm Optimization Extreme Learning Machine (PSO-ELM) and Back Propagation (BP) neural network model shows that the new method avoids falling into the local extreme value, and has faster convergence speed and higher prediction accuracy.

Accurate interval forecasting of wind power is crucial for ensuring the safe, stable, and cost-effective operation of power grids. In this paper, we propose a hybrid deep learning model for day-ahead wind power interval forecasting. The model begins by utilizing a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) to cluster daily data with similar distribution patterns. To optimize input features, a feature selection (FS) method is applied to remove irrelevant data. The empirical wavelet transform (EWT) is then employed to decompose both numerical weather prediction (NWP) and wind power data into frequency components, effectively isolating the high-frequency components that capture the inherent randomness and volatility of the data. A convolutional neural network (CNN) is used to extract spatial correlations and meteorological features, while the bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) model captures temporal dependencies within the data sequence. To further enhance forecasting accuracy, a multi-head self-attention mechanism (MHSAM) is incorporated to assign greater weight to the most influential elements. This leads to the development of a day-ahead wind power interval forecasting model based on GMM-FS-EWT-CNN-BiGRU-MHSAM. The proposed model is validated through comparison with a benchmark forecasting model and demonstrates superior performance. Furthermore, a comparison with the interval forecasts generated using the NPKDE method shows that the new model achieves higher accuracy.

As the primary grain crop in China, wheat holds a significant position in the country’s agricultural production, circulation, consumption, and various other aspects. However, the presence of imperfect grains has greatly impacted wheat quality and, subsequently, food security. In order to detect perfect wheat grains and six types of imperfect grains, a method for the fast and non-destructive identification of imperfect wheat grains using hyperspectral images was proposed. The main contents and results are as follows: (1) We collected wheat grain hyperspectral data. Seven types of wheat grain samples, each containing 300 grains, were prepared to construct a hyperspectral imaging system for imperfect wheat grains, and visible near-infrared hyperspectral data from 2100 wheat grains were collected. The Savitzky–Golay algorithm was used to analyze the hyperspectral images of wheat grains, selecting 261 dimensional effective hyperspectral datapoints within the range of 420.61–980.43 nm. (2) The Successive Projections Algorithm was used to reduce the dimensions of the 261 dimensional hyperspectral datapoints, selecting 33 dimensional hyperspectral datapoints. Principal Component Analysis was used to extract the optimal spectral wavelengths, specifically selecting hyperspectral images at 647.57 nm, 591.78 nm, and 568.36 nm to establish the dataset. (3) Particle Swarm Optimization was used to optimize the Support Vector Machines model, Convolutional Neural Network model, and MobileNet V2 model, which were established to recognize seven types of wheat grains. The comprehensive recognition rates were 93.71%, 95.14%, and 97.71%, respectively. The results indicate that a larger model with more parameters may not necessarily yield better performance. The research shows that the MobileNet V2 network model exhibits superior recognition efficiency, and the integration of hyperspectral image technology with the classification model can accurately identify imperfect wheat grains.

Accurate identification of individual cow identity is a prerequisite for the construction of digital farms and serves as the basis for optimized feeding, disease prevention and control, breed improvement, and product quality traceability. Currently, cow identification faces challenges such as poor recognition accuracy, large data volumes, weak model generalization ability, and low recognition speed. Therefore, this paper proposes a cow identification method based on YOLOX-S-TKECB. (1) Based on the characteristics of Holstein cows and their breeding practices, we constructed a real-time acquisition and preprocessing platform for two-dimensional Holstein cow images and built a cow identification model based on YOLOX-S-TKECB. (2) Transfer learning was introduced to improve the convergence speed and generalization ability of the cow identification model. (3) The CBAM attention mechanism module was added to enhance the model’s ability to extract features from cow torso patterns. (4) The alignment between the apriori frame and the target size was improved by optimizing the clustering algorithm and the multi-scale feature fusion method, thereby enhancing the performance of object detection at different scales. The experimental results demonstrate that, compared to the traditional YOLOX-S model, the improved model exhibits a 15.31% increase in mean average precision (mAP) and a 32-frame boost in frames per second (FPS). This validates the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed YOLOX-S-TKECB-based cow identification algorithm, providing valuable technical support for the application of dairy cow identification in farms.
