Wind Power Forecasting with EA-PSM SAS
Free electricity trade market requires wind power producers to forecast day-ahead power generation. Mismatch between forecasted and real generation becomes direct losses for the wind power plant owner. However, due to intermittent nature of the wind, simple forecasting models usually are not good enough to reach satisfactory results. Automatic and self-learning algorithms are needed to ensure ...
