Abstract
The timely and effective investment risk assessment and forecasting are of great significance to ensure the investment safety and sustainable development of wind energy along the Belt and Road. In order to obtain the scientific
and real-time forecasting result, this paper constructs a novel hybrid intelligent model based on improved cloud
model combined with GRA-TOPSIS and MBA-WLSSVM. Firstly, the factors influencing investment risk of wind
energy along the Belt and Road are identified from three dimensions: endogenous risk, exogenous risk and process
risk. Through the fuzzy threshold method, the final input index system is selected. Secondly, the risk evaluation
method based on improved cloud model and GRA-TOPSIS is proposed. Thirdly, a modern intelligent model based
on MBA-WLSSVM is designed. In modified bat algorithm (MBA), tent chaotic map is utilized to improve the basic
bat algorithm, while weighted least squares support vector machine (WLSSVM) adopts wavelet kernel function to
replace the traditional radial basis function to complete the model improvement. Finally, an example is given to
verify the scientificity and accuracy of the model, which is helpful for investors to make fast and effective investment
risk forecasting of wind energy along the Belt and Road. The example analysis proves that the proposed model can
provide reference and basis for investment corpus to formulate the investment strategy in wind energy along the
Belt and Road.
