description Wind energy is an effective way to reduce emissions in ports. However, port wind power generation exhibits strong intermittency and randomness. Predicting port wind speed enables timely scheduling of port operations and improves wind energy utilization efficiency. To achieve high accuracy and rapid prediction of port wind speed, this paper proposes a wind speed prediction model based on the Sparrow Search Algorithm (SSA) optimized Wavelet Neural Network (WNN). Firstly, the SSA is used to optimize the Mean Squared Error (MSE) as the fitness function during the training process of the WNN model, obtaining the optimal fitness value corresponding to the network parameters. Then, the obtained parameters are used as the network model parameters of WNN for wind speed prediction. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, the model is validated using the measured wind speed data from the Chuanshan Port Area of Ningbo-Zhoushan Port throughout 2022, and its performance is compared with three other models: SSA–BP, SSA–LSTM, and WNN. The results demonstrate that the proposed prediction model exhibits good performance in port wind speed prediction and outperforms the other comparative models in terms of prediction accuracy and convergence speed.
