Metro traction energy prediction is the basis of abnormal monitoring and plays an indispensable role in the planning and operation of the metro system. However, current studies rarely offer a satisfactory prediction performance. To improve the prediction accuracy, a novel prediction method for metro traction energy consumption is proposed based on gradient penalty Wasserstein generative adversarial network (WGAN-GP) and stacking ensemble learning with multi-model integration. Firstly, aiming to collect effective train data, WGAN-GP is used to generate characteristic data of traction energy consumption. Then, various algorithms like BP, SVM, ELM, and XGBoost are employed to preliminarily disclose the relationship between traction energy consumption and characteristic data of traction energy consumption via K-fold verification. Thereafter, the XGBoost algorithm is implemented as the meta model to construct a stacking ensemble learning prediction model. Finally, the proposed method is verified with data from Guangzhou Metro Line 13, and the results substantiate the effectiveness of the prediction model.
