Precise and rapid weather predictions become essential in several applications in assisting planning and management in response to weather conditions. At the same time, timely wind speed prediction gains considerable attention in several economical, business, and management areas. With the consideration of wind speed as an arbitrary variable, precise wind speed prediction using machine learning and deep learning models can be established. With this motivation, this study develops a short-term wind speed prediction using search and rescue optimization with deep belief network (STWSP-SRDBN) model. To accomplish accurate wind speed prediction, the STWSP-SRDBN method initially pre-processes the weather data using min-max normalization. Additionally, the STWSP-SRDBN model utilizes DBN model to predict the weather data. Moreover, the SRO algorithm is utilized to fine tune the hyperparameters related to the DBN approach. The presented STWSP-SRDBN method makes use of Spatio-temporal multivariate multi-dimensional historical weather data to learn new representations utilized for wind forecasting. The experimental validation of the STWSP-SRDBN method is tested using a set of weather data and the outcomes are investigated under numerous aspects. The experimental results indicated the enhanced outcomes of the STWSP-SRDBN method over recent state of art methods.
