2 PowerPredict Background and history EC More CARE (FP5) Meteo wind power forecasting (stand alone) for Ireland EPSRC Forecasting study ( ) EC-funded ANEMOS project ( ) New techniques, benchmarking against best in Europe Formation of spin-out company PowerPredict (2007) Development of geographical interface (2007/08) Westmill wind farm trial using upgraded software (2009)

3 PowerPredict Why do wind power forecasting? System operation : Power trading : scheduling reduce spinning reserve reduce exposure in markets Forecast horizons : 1 72 (120) hours ahead

4 PowerPredict Why do wind power forecasting? 3 regimes : seconds/minutes (operation) 2 approaches : hours/days (scheduling, trading) days/weeks (maintenance) time series ( black box ) methods NWP (numerical weather prediction) from mechanics, thermodynamics

5 Time series : NWP : Theory (1) Data Explanatory variables Wind speed forecast Downscaling Optimisation algorithm Turbine power curve Power forecast Power forecast

6 HIRLAM forecast Forecasting - NWP methods Theory (2) Geostrophic drag Log profile MOS : v a(, t...) b(, t...) hub v local Surface wind WA S P Orography Roughness Power Curve Local wind MOS Power forecast

7 Theory (3) Forecasting possible time series methods AR(MA) : P t k a P a P a P 1 t 2 t k 3 t 2k... Neural net : x 1, w 1 x 2, w 2 Σ α f ( j x j w j ) x j, w j Fuzzy logic : IF temperature is high THEN wind is low

8 Power / MW RMS forecast error / MW Theory (4) beating Persistence Persistence the value of a forecast variable P at time t + k will be the same as at current time t : P t Pt k Pt k Rated power : 6.45 MW Look-ahead time k / hours Look-ahead time / hours

9 Theory (5) Forecasting errors Various measures : Mean Error (ME) (Bias) Mean Absolute Error (MAE) Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) Normalized MAE Normalized RMS Accuracy depends on complexity of terrain, look ahead time, level of power production, and the NWP parameters

10 Real-time wind power forecasting software: 5 years supported operation at EirGrid (ESB) control centre Long term wind power forecast using wind speed/direction from NWP forecast Short term wind power forecast using statistical approach based on most recent wind power measurements Robustness of initialisation and operation Scaleable output to allow for uninstrumented wind farms Flexibility to add new wind farms (MySQL database) Meteo Achievements

11 Long term Met-based wind power forecast Forecast method / power curve interpretation selectable by wind farm Persistence Simple power curve Manufacturer s power curve Derived power curve
