3 Existing studies on wind power forecasting Model Country Year Type WPPT DK 1991 WF power curve + ARX Prediktor DK 1994 Physical WF power curve + MOS WPMS DE 2000 Neural Network Previento DE 1999 Analytical wind + Physical WF power curve e-wind US 1999 Mesoscale model + Power Curve + MOS The effect of the wind prediction model on the power prediction is not clarified. Extreme weather event (typhoon / lightning) results in the trouble of the operation of the wind farm, causing the sudden decrease of the output power. This is the large source of the prediction error.

4 Objective To clarify the effect of the spatial resolution of the wind prediction in complex terrain To develop a model which enables to take the sudden change of the output from the wind farm due to the operational trouble into account

5 Wind Farms WF A,B,C,D,E WF F WF H,I WF G Grid1 Δxy = 8km Grid2 Δxy = 2km Grid3 Δxy = 1km Tohoku area consists of nine wind farms (total capacity 243MW) are focused in this research and online measurement system of the power (kw) was constructed.

Numerical Weather Prediction data data by by Japan Meteorological Agency Horizontal resolution 40km Temporal resolution 3hours Mesoscale model RAMS Conservation of momentum, heat etc. Physical model, turbulence model Terrain, landuse, SST database Regional Wind Horizontal resolution 1km Temporal resolution 30 minutes.

8 Power curve model Predicted wind speed is converted into power by power curve model P f u, PC pred pred tk t tk t tk t t: initial time k: forecast horizon Power curve is estimated dynamically by weighted least square method (Nielsen 1999) using measured power and predicted wind speed of the past. 102 tk 2 f s s f k0 s1k ts meas arg min f u P f u f = f is called the forgetting factor. f = was adopted for power curve corresponds to the time scale of around 41.7 days Days ago 20 0

9 Estimated power curve Wind Farm A For SE and NW wind, the output shows larger value due to the effect of topography. For NE and SW wind, the output decreases due to the wake effect. Wind farm farm power curve can can take take the the effect of of topography and and wake Output (MW) N 0 NE E Wind Direction SE S SW W NW Wind Speed (m/s)

10 ARX model For the final prediction of the power, predicted power is corrected by using most recent measurement data. [ARX (AutoRegression model with exogenius inout) model] P a k P b k P pred meas pc tkt t Model parameters a(k) and b(k) are estimated similarly using the forgetting factor ab = 0.998, corresponds to days. tkt a k tk ts meas meas pc arg min ab Ps akps k bkps b k s 1 k This This approach can can change the the parameter dynamically capable of of expressing the the seasonal or or inter inter annual change of of power curve and and parameters Sudden change of of the the power due due to to operational trouble cannot be be predicted.

11 Problem of the power curve model Power / Rated Power(%) meas Exisiting Model 0 03/30 04/01 04/03 04/05 04/07 04/09 04/11 04/13 Sudden decrease of of the the power due due to to the the operational trouble cannot be be predicted

12 Multi time scale model To account for the operational condition of the wind farm, a new parameter c t was introduced. PC pred pred P PC pred pred P tk t f utk t, tk t tk tct f utk t, tk t 2 pred t ts meas pred t arg min c s s, s c s1 c P c f u 1 For For the the estimation of of c t, t, different time time scale was was used. c = c was was adopted, which corresponds to to days representing shorter time time scale f = c = Days ago 20 0

13 Optimization of the parameter c To find the optimum value of forgetting factor c, different forgetting factors were used for the forecast RMSE[%] λc The The optimum value exists, which is is around for for c. c.

14 Time series of the prediction 100 meas ARXM model Exisiting Model Power / Rated Power(%) /30 04/01 04/03 04/05 04/07 04/09 04/11 04/13 Proposed model can can predict the the sudden decrease of of the the output of of the the power.

15 RMSE of the proposed model Conventional study This study RMSE (%) Tohoku area July, 2006 RMSE n pred meas P 2 i Pi i1 n Forecast Horizon (hours) The The prediction error was was reduced significantly by by proposed model

16 Effect of the length of the training period Forecast for September 2007 was investigated by changing the length of the training period RMSE[%] week 2 weeks 1 month 2 months 3 months 6 months Forecast horizon (h) 3 months or or more training period is is enough to to obtain stable model parameters.

17 Conclusions Mesoscale model is useful for the wind power forecasting in complex terrain. The prediction error was reduced from 19% to 17% for 12 hours ahead forecasts by mesoscale simulation with 2km resolution. Proposed multi time scale parameter model enabled to predict the operating condition of the wind farm and the prediction accuracy increased compared to the conventional model. The optimum time scales exist for the estimation of different model parameters. The forgetting factor used for the estimation of c is much shorter than the one used for the estimation of the power curve. For the training of the model, at least three months is required to estimate the stable model parameters.
