Research on wind power forecasting in wind farms

Large-scale wind power synchronization will do harm to the power system safety, stable operation and electricity quality thus limiting the development scale of wind generation. Wind power forecast is one of the effective measures to solve these problems. In this paper, categories and major methods of wind power forecast are introduced and changing regularities of major factors which influence the output power is analyzed. Besides, parameters choosing, data capturing methods and data processing methods are put forward. © 2011 IEEE.
