Forecasting Exercise - Case Study

Objective: In 2005, AEE promoted a project related to the prediction of wind farm energy production, known as the Prediction Exercise. The project was financed by AEE and by companies that own the parks, as well as by a subsidy from the PROFIT programme of the Ministry of Education and Science.

The Prediction Exercise consisted of a comparative Round Robin of various wind resource prediction models, which were tested on seven wind farms. The main objectives were to analyse the principal limitations of the models, determine the factors involved in the deviations of wind resource predictions and propose solutions to minimise them.

Year of implementation: 2005
