Grid and market integration of large-scale wind farms using advanced wind power forecasting

More about the book

The aim of this study is to develop advanced wind power forecasting techniques to improve the accuracy of prediction systems using a variety of methods and to investigate the role of advanced wind power forecasting techniques in the grid and market integration of onshore and offshore wind farms. A Multi-Model approach using ensemble Numerical Weather Predictions („NWPs“) and Multi NWP approach are developed in order to optimize the wind power forecasting results. A new approach for a offshore-specific wind power prediction system based on NWP data and oceanographic parameters is presented. In conclusion, energy economical and technical benefits of wind power forecasting are analyzed.
