1 Wind power: Exploratory space-time analysis with M. P. Muñoz*, J. A. Sànchez*, M. Gasulla*, M. D. Márquez** *Department Statistics and Operations Research (UPC) ** Department of Economics and Economic History (UAB) 1 Outline 1. Introduction & Objectives 2. Exploratory Data Analysis 3. ECF: Empirical-Correlation Function 4. EOF: Empirical Orthogonal Function 5. Conclusions 2 2

2 Motivation o Knowing the speed and wind direction and its evolution is very important in wind generation planning Statistical models suitable for generation planning take into account the space time components of the wind, These components are highly related to each other and to other meteorological variables 3 3 Evolution of speed and wind direction Statistical models: Space time components of the wind Wind generation planning Pressure Temperature 4 4

3 Objectives Visualize the spatiotemporal relationships between the variables involved in the problem using the functions we have programmed in R as well as other functions already implemented in R libraries Descriptive techniques: - graphical representations of speed and wind direction - correlation between different space-time variable - autocorrelation functions implemented in several space and time lags - EOF: empirical orthogonal functions

14 Conclusions The relationships detected by the exploratory space time analysis are very useful in the statistical models, obtaining more accurate models The forecast of future wind values will be more accurate. ate The accuracy achieved in predicting wind speed and direction will have a positive impact on the quality of wind generation forecasts. The presented techniques will be useful for diagnosing the quality of fit for the estimated models
