ABSTRACT=<p>The interval prediction of wind speed is crucial for the economic and safe operation of wind farms. To overcome the probability density function parameter optimization and long-term correlation of time series problems in an interval prediction method, a hybrid model based on the beta distribution of an allele real-coded quantum evolutionary algorithm (ARQEA) and a shared weight long short-term memory (SWLSTM) neural network is proposed for predicting the interval of short-term wind speed, which is beta–ARQEA–SWLSTM. Input variables are determined <italic>via</italic> autocorrelation functions, and the shape and position parameters in the beta distribution function are optimized by the ARQEA algorithm. An interval-divided multi-distribution function aggregation is proposed to deal with the fluctuation of wind speed series. Lastly, case studies are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.</p>
