WaveHiTS model enhances wind direction forecasting with wavelet and hierarchical methods

A new model called WaveHiTS has been proposed for wind direction forecasting, integrating wavelet transform with a hierarchical time series approach. This method decomposes wind direction into U-V components and uses wavelet transform to capture multi-scale frequency patterns, effectively reducing error propagation in multi-step predictions. Experiments on data from Inner Mongolia, China, show WaveHiTS significantly outperforms various deep learning and transformer-based models, achieving RMSE values around 19.2°-19.4° compared to over 56° for recurrent models, with robust performance up to 60 minutes ahead.
