Wind Pattern Recognition and Reference Wind Mast Data Correlations With NWP for Improved Wind-Electric Power Forecasts.

A new statistical approach has been proposed for improved short-term wind-electric power forecasts of wind power plants (WPPs) based on a new wind-pattern-recognition technique, and reference wind mast (RWM) data correlations with numerical weather predictions (NWPs) to localize wind data to the given WPP site. For this purpose, first, NWP data are combined using adaptive boosting (AdaBoost) machi...
